Jack Black (of tenacious D, in movies Saving Silverman, Shallow Hal, School of Rock etc.) Will be playing the lead in Peter Jackson’s (of Lord of the Rings) version of King Kong =) Got that from:

[http://film.guardian.co.uk/news/story/0,12589,1181111,00.html](http://film.guardian.co.uk/news/story/0,12589,1181111,00.html)

And as it says at the end of the article, _“His inclusion may offer some clue as to the tone of Jackson’s version of the ape tale: Black’s CV is overwhelmingly skewed towards comic roles.”_

So yeah, King Kong might be quite interesting. 😉
