I owe KING KONG a huge debt because I really don't think I would have become a filmmaker had I not seen it on television that night when I was nine years old' Peter Jackson This attractively priced hardcover edition will tie in with the Dec 14 release of the new movie, which stars Jack Black (House of Rock), Adrien Brody (The Pianist), Naomi Watts as Ann Darrow, and Andy Serkis (Gollum) 'There is no Frankenstein movie that will bring tears to the eyes as readily as the final reel of King Kong, where the big ape straddles the top of the Empire State Building and tries to fight off those machine-gun-equipped biplanes ... Kong is the archetype of archetypes' Stephen King
