7.7 2005 0 102,299 votes In 1933 New York, an overly ambitious movie producer coerces his cast and hired ship crew to travel to mysterious Skull Island, where they encounter Kong, a giant ape who is immediately smitten with leading lady Ann Darrow. Movies don't come any bigger than Peter Jackson's King Kong, a three-hour remake of the 1933 classic that marries breathtaking visual prowess with a surprising emotional depth. Expanding on the original story of the blonde beauty and the beast who falls for her, Jackson creates a movie spectacle that matches his Lord of the Rings films and even at times evokes their fantasy world while celebrating the glory of '30s Hollywood. Once it finds its way to Skull Island (which bears more than a passing resemblance to LOTR's Mordor), it turns into a dazzling triumph, by turns terrifying and awe-inspiring. The eighth wonder of the world. 187 min | 201 min (extended edition) Rated PG-13 for frightening adventure violence and some disturbing images. tt0360717 Adventure / Drama / Romance Fran Walsh / Philippa Boyens Peter Jackson Big Primate Pictures www.totaleclips.com/Player/Bounce.aspx?eclipid=e24355&bitrateid=310&vendorid=102&type=.flv Naomi Watts Ann Darrow http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMjExNjA1NjM2MF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwOTg0NzYyMQ@@._V1._SX100_SY139_.jpg Jack Black Carl Denham http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTU1NTQxMjM0NV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMTI1NjYyMQ@@._V1._SX99_SY140_.jpg Adrien Brody Jack Driscoll http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTYzNzkxNTI1N15BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwOTc5NjYyMQ@@._V1._SX99_SY139_.jpg Thomas Kretschmann Captain Englehorn http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTc3NjY2OTg4NF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwODQzNzkxMQ@@._V1._SX100_SY136_.jpg Colin Hanks Preston http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTg2NTYyNjM5OF5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwNTY2MTUyMQ@@._V1._SX97_SY139_.jpg Andy Serkis Kong http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTI3MTI2NjUyMV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwMDIyMzEyMQ@@._V1._SX98_SY139_.jpg Evan Parke Hayes http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BOTE4MTQ2MjkxNl5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwNzEyNjEzMQ@@._V1._SX97_SY140_.jpg Jamie Bell Jimmy http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTk4ODY3ODE4Nl5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwOTQ3NTgzMQ@@._V1._SX97_SY140_.jpg Lobo Chan Choy John Sumner Herb http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BNTY0MjE3MTc3OV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwNDI4NDYyMQ@@._V1._SX100_SY140_.jpg Craig Hall Mike http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BMTg4NTUxNTAzOV5BMl5BanBnXkFyZXN1bWU@._V1._SX93_SY140_.jpg Kyle Chandler Bruce Baxter Bill Johnson Manny Mark Hadlow Harry Geraldine Brophy Maude
