    Watts As First Choice For 'Kong' ?

    Jackson Eyes Watts As First Choice For 'Kong'!!!
    http://www.latinoreview.com/
    According to The Hollywood Reporter, King Kong might have Naomi Watts in the palm of his hand. The Australian actress has emerged as the top contender to star in Universal Pictures' "King Kong" for filmmaker Peter Jackson. Watts would play Ann Darrow, an American actress who makes a living performing in Broadway song and dance shows in Depression-era New York. The role was immortalized by Fay Wray in the original 1933 classic and by Jessica Lange in the 1976 remake. No deal is in place, but an offer has been made, sources said. Jackson and Watts were in London late last month in what was described as "a meeting among friends." Sources also said that Jackson, who is still working "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King," is expected to start writing the "King Kong" script in November and plans to shoot next summer.
    i did not even know Jackson is already really into doin King Kong ..

    so i guess it will be a CGI King Kong?

    Unhappy

    If King Kong wasn't CGI, what would be the point to do this movie? Well, Jackson will probobly use miniatures and pupets and all that's available to use in modern filmmaking.

    The guys over at TheMovieBox reports that E! News Daily spoke to Naomi Watts and director Peter Jackson at the BAFTA/LA luncheon on Saturday, and Watts confirmed she is set to star Peter Jackson’s King Kong. Here is a clip:

    DA:You will be cast in King Kong?

    NW: I will sit in the hand of King Kong (laughs.)

    DA: When do you start filming?

    NW: August

    It's getting pretty damn expensive to film in the USA nowadays... When they filmed X-Men, they filmed in a city in Canada and used CGI to make the city look like New York City because it was far cheaper, by far...

    Well, yeah. God bless the lower Canadian dollar for all the movie business it's brought. Although it isn't so low now.
