Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings) directed this remake of the 1933 classic and Naomi Watts takes the role played by Fay Wray in the original.

In the 1930's, Carl Denham (Jack Black) is a filmmaker who sets out to make a movie with leading lady Ann Darrow (Watts) and screenwriter Jack Driscoll (Adrien Brody). They all end up on Skull Island, which contains wondrous creatures including a 25-foot gorilla.
