I was pretty pissed off when I heard Peter Jackson's next project would be to make yet another King Kong remake. In Hollywood, it's long been held that King Kong is a movie that just can't and shouldn't be remade. I think that's what attracted Jackson to do it. For years everyone said the Lord of the Rings couldn't be made other than animated or softened up for kiddies, but he pulled it off. After seeing the trailer and seeing that he did the movie as a period piece rather than trying to update it, I must admit I might have been wrong. He's re-added a scene that was edited out of King Kong years ago, and used new effects. Some of the dino effects look cheesy because I've seen all the dino stuff in the Jurassic Park movies. Kong on the otherhand looked amazing.
Jack Black was an interesting choice to play Carl Denham. I think he can pull it off though. He may even add some of his humor. I'm actually looking forward to seeing the movie.
