King Kong (2005) is directed by
acclaimed Lord of the Rings director
Peter Jackson. After the wild success he had adventuring in Middle Earth,
Jackson made this passion-project remake of the 1933 film King Kong. It follows essentially the same story, a filmmaker and
his crew recruit a beautiful woman and travel to a mysterious island where they
encounter a bunch of frightening creatures including one giant ape that they
bring back to New York where havoc ensues. The film stars Naomi Watts, Jack
Black, Adrein Brody, and frequent Jackson-collaborator Andy Serkis.
