Can 'Kong' Make Peter Jackson King Again?

Can 'Kong' Make Peter Jackson King Again?

"Kong" is likely to be king of the box office, but does the latest incarnation of the chest-thumping big banana deserve the crown?

"Lord of the Rings" director Peter Jackson's much-hyped "King Kong" remake opens on Wednesday, and after winning an Oscar, losing almost 80 pounds on the so-called "Skull Island Diet" and nearly shutting down Manhattan's Times Square to promote the picture, Jackson faces expectations as high as the king of apes himself.

"I think it's possibly going to surprise people — if they go see this movie, they're going to come away having seen a film they weren't expecting to see," Jackson told FOX News. "This is not a monster film — it's a film about a huge creature with a heart and a soul and a very noble but very scary animal that lives on this island and how he connects with Ann Darrow [played by Naomi Watts]."
