Jack Black Hired For Leading Role in 'King Kong'
Producer-director Peter Jackson has selected Jack Black to star in his remake of 'King Kong' as the filmmaker-entrepreneur who captures the giant ape and brings him to New York as a freak-show attraction. The role was originally played by Robert Armstrong in the 1933 original and by Charles Grodin in the 1976 remake (although the character's name was changed and he became an oil executive).
