King Kong Movie
One of the greatest Hollywood adventure stories gets the Peter Jackson's newest interpretation in this high-budget block-buster. A group of documentary filmmakers headed by Carl Denham (Jack Black) explores mysterious relict jungle somewhere upon the lost island near Sumatra in 1930s to examine how truthful the legends of the great ape Kong are. Soon they found themselves in this forest surrounded by dangerous and huge prehistoric fauna which was hidden there for millions of years. Explorers had found that King Kong is really exists in form of the 25 feet tall gorilla which can outfight any creature on Earth, even the dinosaurs inhabiting the mysterious Skull Island. Meanwhile, an actress Ann Darrow (Naomi Watts) strikes up a romance with Jack Driscoll (Adrian Brody), a respected playwright hired by Denham to write the script for his latest epic. Adventurers manage creature capture, and bringing him to New York City for display, where Kong escapes and runs amok, finally climbing the Empire State Building. Andy Sirkis (Gollum in the Lord of The Rings) was brought in to provide the body movements and mimic for King Kong digital animation.
