Here's a press release from Universal detailing the unusual DVD set:

For the first time in the history of cinema, film fans will have the opportunity to experience the production of a major motion picture from the unique perspective of a master filmmaker with KING KONG Peter Jackson's Production Diaries. The three-time Academy Award(R) winning director (the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy) personally invites viewers to immerse themselves in this unprecedented project, which combines a full-color book with more than 50 pages, four stunning production conceptual art prints and two DVDs to create a step-by-step, first-hand account of the film's eight-month production process. In another first, KING KONG Peter Jackson's Production Diaries will be released December 13, 2005, a day before KING KONG opens in theaters.

Available for a limited time only, this handsomely packaged gift set is a must-own for every Peter Jackson and KING KONG fan. KING KONG Peter Jackson's Production Diaries is a beautifully crafted, limited edition work of art that comes with a collector's letter of authenticity. Introduced by Jackson himself, the package's 54 intriguing production diaries provide an unparalleled opportunity to see stars Naomi Watts (Oscar(R) nominated for "21 Grams"), Jack Black ("School of Rock") and Adrien Brody (Academy Award(R) winner for "The Pianist") in action as they bring this thrilling tale to the screen. As a special bonus, the set includes a fascinating, detailed look at the creation of one of the film's most exciting action sequences -- the fierce battle between Kong and the three T-Rex.
