Jack Black to play Carl Denham in King Kong

[mabus]

Peter Jackson has picked Jack Black to play Carl Denham in his version of King Kong.

I never saw the original version of King Kong, but soon will, and hope Jackson can pull it off. Of course, after Return of the King, Peter Jackson can do anything!

Oh no...not another "King Kong"! I'm still trying to get the Dino DeLaurentiis version off of my shoes.
You MUST see the original! I've seen it countless times! Whenever someone's showing it on cable, I still don't miss it. Robert Armstrong played Carl Denham for all it was worth in the original.
Trust me, once you see it, you won't forget it.

Can't wait for that movie, yo.🙂

There's a 1976 version with Jeff Bridges, but I ain't never seen it.

It only received two stars by my illegal satellite rating system, so I never bothered to watch it...

Besides, PJ can do no wrong after LOTR, so I'll just wait for his version instead.

Cheers.😀

KING KONG

The original Kong is and always will be one of the greatest films ever lensed. Stay miles away from the colorized version(Damn you to Hell, Ted Turner!). The DeLaurentis version from `76 is gawdawful, but fun in that guilty-pleasure kinda way(for me, anywho). Dispite the monumental achievement that was Jackson's "Lord of the Rings", I am a tad nervous about another remake of "King Kong"...

Leave King Kong alone!

Another version of King Kong? That reaffirms my belief that Hollywood has run out of ideas for movies. Too many sequels and remakes.

Adrien Brody will play Jack Driscoll.

I've never seen him act, don't know if he is good or not.

Remakes, reshmakes...

...They'll STILL be hard-pressed to do better than Jessica Lange first tied with her arms over her head, then later topless! (and all I could think during that scene was, "Dammit, his fingers are too big to tickle her! GET HER, dammit!") 🙄
