Written by Fran Walsh, Philippa BoyensDirected by Peter JacksonRunning Time: 180 minutes (approx)Production Year: 2005Rating: 12 CertificateProduction Country: New Zealand / USAFilmed in ColourThis big budget 2005 Oscar-winning remake of the classic monster movie is a class act all round. Directed by Peter Jackson, Naomi Watts plays Ann Darrow, a Depression-era down-on-her-luck actress who accepts an offer from film-maker Carl Denham (Jack Black) to star in a film shot on mysterious Skull Island, which is teeming with prehistoric life. While there, Ann is abducted by natives who offer her as a sacrifice to a giant ape, which instead of harming the starlet becomes smitten with her. The film crew manage to capture the ape and bring it back to Manhattan to exhibit as a showpiece, but on the show's opening night, things go horribly awry... A spectacular film, with some tremendous effects, it's more elaborate and considerably longer than the 1930s original and the 1976 remake, running at a hefty 205 minutes. The film may be cut for violence, and some scenes may frighten young children. Click to see when King Kong is coming up on TV. Cast
