King Kong Synopsis & Movie Info

Synopsis

When you're Peter Jackson, a three-time Academy Award winner coming off one of the most successful film trilogies in history (anyone remember 'Lord of the Rings'?), what can you possibly choose as your next project that won't seem like a letdown? You choose 'King Kong,' of course -- the timeless tale of a gargantuan ape-monster captured in the wilds and brought to civilization, where he meets his tragic fate. Expanding on the chapters of the tale that take place in the mysterious and dangerous jungles of Skull Island, Jackson's 'Kong' promises to be a unique and breathtaking creation. -
