Andy Serkis... King Kong ?

[Guest NaturalBornThriller4:20]

In a great interview at the Toronto Sun with Andy Serkis about his work as Gollum in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, an interesting bit is mentioned about director Peter Jackson's upcoming King Kong.

 

Serkis has an even bigger assignment ahead of him. Rumour has it he'll be the face of King Kong in Peter Jackson's planned 2005 remake of the legendary ape epic.

 

"Ssssh!" he says, giving another mischievous smile — and a thumbs-up gesture. It's just between us and the cat.

 

Sounds like Jackson will be using a similar technique for creating King Kong as he did with Gollum, where Serkis would act out the role and then the big ape would be computer generated in afterwards!
