Peter Jackson's King Kong Will Be Released In New York

The creator of "Lord of The Rings", Peter Jackson, intend to release his latest movie, an update of "King Kong" in New York. Universal Pictures Vice Chairman Marc Shmuger said the movie will be released in early December and "the premiere was an opportunity for New York to welcome Kong back."

"New York is very excited about the opportunity and the city is one of our partners on the film," he said. "They are lending extensive resources to really make the return of Kong to New York an official event."

The movie features Naomi Watts, Adrien Brody and Jack Black. "We wanted, what everyone calls the Fay Wray role, the lady in Kong, to be played by a very good actress. Not some blonde bimbo screaming her head off," Jackson said.

"We are in the middle of cutting". "We won't have a movie you can sit down and watch until the middle of July. We are battling on all fronts at the moment." It is reported that Peter has shed 70 pounds (31.7 kilograms) during the shooting.
