King Kong is a 2005 epic adventure monster film co-written, produced, and directed by Peter Jackson. It is the ninth entry in the King Kong franchise and the second remake of the 1933 film of the same title, the first being the 1976 remake. The film stars Naomi Watts, Jack Black, and Adrien Brody. Set in 1933, it follows the story of an ambitious filmmaker who coerces his cast and hired ship crew to travel to mysterious Skull Island. There they encounter prehistoric creatures and a legendary giant gorilla known as Kong, whom they capture and take to New York City.
Development began in early 1995, when Universal Pictures approached Jackson to direct the remake of the original 1933 film. The project stalled in early 1997, as several ape and giant monster-related films were under production at the time and Jackson planned to direct The Lord of the Rings film series. As the first two films in the Rings trilogy became commercially successful, Universal went back to Jackson in early 2003, expressing interest in restarting development on the project, to which Jackson eventually agreed. Filming for King Kong took place in New Zealand from September 2004 to March 2005. It is currently one of the most expensive films ever produced as its budget climbed from an initial $150 million to a then record-breaking $207 million.
King Kong premiered at New York City on December 5, 2005, and was theatrically released in Germany and United States on December 14. The film garnered positive reviews, and eventually appeared in several top ten lists for 2005; it was praised for the special effects, performances, sense of spectacle and comparison to the 1933 original, though some criticisms were raised over its 3-hour run time. It was a commercial success, grossing over $556.9 million, and became the fourth-highest-grossing film in Universal Pictures history at that time and the fifth-highest-grossing film of 2005. It also generated $100 million in DVD sales upon its home video release in March 2006. It won three Academy Awards for Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing and Best Visual Effects. A tie-in video game was released alongside the film, which also became a commercial and critical success.
HUNGARIAN SUMMARY: Peter Jackson, Oscar-díjas rendező (A Gyűrűk Ura-trilógia) lenyűgöző fantáziája ezúttal a legendás óriásgorillát, King Kongot alkotta újra. A Naomi Watts (A kör, Maradj!), Adrien Brody (A zongorista, A fiók) és Jack Black (Rocksuli, Pop, csajok, satöbbi) főszereplésével készült, elképesztően látványos filmben a nézők olyan döbbenetes akciójeleneteknek, félelmetes lényeknek és szemkápráztató effektusoknak lehetnek szem- és fültanúi, amilyeneket még nem látott a világ.
A térképeken nem szerepel ez a sziget. Senki nem ismeri az itt élő, vad törzset, mely istenként féli és tiszteli a sziget urát, egy hatalmas gorillát. Az Újvilágból érkező kalandorok fogságba ejtik és magukkal hurcolják az állatot New Yorkba, ahol a túlélésért folytatott végső harc vár rá...
