King Kong roars on big screen again

After a spate of monster movies such asGodzilla, King Kong, Frankenstein, Mummy, Alien, DraculaandWolf Man, there's yet one more for those, who enjoy edge of the seat entertainment. Yes, it is a remake of King Kong, starring Adrien Brody, Naomi Watts, Jack Black, Andy Serkis and Jamie Bell and is titled the same as the original film. The director is Peter Jackson.

" I have a feeling there will not be much interaction with an actual gorilla. Although we do have Andy Serkis," says a regretful Brody (playing heroic drifter Jack Driscoll), who is disappointed that Jackson could not rustle up an actual 20-foot gorilla for his mega-budget remake of King Kong. Meanwhile Serkis has been seen at the London Zoo, spending time with real life primates.

Jackson is emphatic that King Kong is not a horror movie, more a relationship drama on a rather large scale. Mr Kong is slotted as one corner of an odd love triangle, along with Jack and Naomi Watts' Ann Darrow, the girl who breaks Kong's heart.

The movie is expected to be released in mid December.
