The rumors are true: Peter Jackson talks more about Andy Serkis (Gollum) as King Kong.

School of Kong.
Jack Black joins Peter Jackson’s King Kong as “adventurer-filmmaker Carl Denham” (played by Robert Armstrong in the original.) Um, trust PJ, I guess. Update: Adrien Brody’s the other lead. That works.
Ring Kong.
Gollum gets a new preciousss…Naomi Watts. Apparently Andy Serkis will play King Kong for PJ much as he did Smeagol (and half the orcs in TTT.) Sounds good from here.
Kong’s New Squeeze.
When you die, you see the Kong…Mulholland Drive star Naomi Watts is in talks to to be PJ’s Fay Wray. Good to see the great ape still has excellent taste.
Return of the Kong.
Having grappled with the ring of power, PJ’s lifelong dream now comes true: Universal announces that Peter Jackson will direct King Kong after finishing up LOTR: Return of the King. I kinda wish they’d announced this a bit later so that Jackson could devote himself fully to closing out Tolkien‘s trilogy in grand style, but I’m sure he’ll do that anyway. Congrats to PJ, Fran, and WETA on their big score. Update: Fay Wray approves.
