Morlock 11 Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 Jack Black! imdb reported this, but although it is often wrong on rumered casting, it doesn't state that someone has been cast unless it is true (or that's what I've found). Man that guy is lucky. First opposite Gwyneth Paltrow, now Naomi Watts! I really don't understand what kind of movie Jackson is making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steven Awalt 0 Posted March 30, 2004 Share Posted March 30, 2004 imdb.com is right for once, as the trades and major genre news has picked up on it too! Very interesting choice of casting. Hope it works out for the film, Jackson and Black! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morlock 11 Posted March 31, 2004 Author Share Posted March 31, 2004 As I said- imdb may be report incorrect rumors, but doesn't flat out lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven Awalt 0 Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 I wouldn't say they lie, but they have been outright totally incorrect many times (especially in their film listings which, true are submitted by users, but are supposedly approved prior to posting by a staff of editors). I never said they lie either, but you don't have to lie to be a rumor monger or sloppy and be wrong a percentage of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eplicon 53 Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Jack Black....Jack Black....Nope, can't say I picture him in the movie. He's one of my least favorite actors next to Adam Sandler. Black's presence in every movie he's been in has been grating, obnoxious, irritating, and whatever other bad adjective there is. I didn't mind him that much in Enemy of the State, but everything from High Fidelity onward has made decide never to see any movie he appears in.

Beowulf 4 Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Jack Black is one of the funniest guys on the planet!I'm glad he's becoming more mainstream now, especially after the release of "School of Rock". I look forward to seeing him in the Kong remake."How 'bout the power to kill a Yak from 200 yards away................................WITH MIND BULLETS!!!!" Tenacios D does indeed rule the Universe stefancos. They are awesome live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrScratch 294 Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Well, having not seen the movie yet, its an interesting choice and is a clue as to what the tone of the picture might be. Jack Black is a great performer with a lot of energy, and he does have the "look" of a filmmaker, as some have suggested the resemblance between Black and PJ. This could be a breakthrough role for him.Jeff - who doesn't like to typecast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie 1,059 Posted April 2, 2004 Share Posted April 2, 2004 I can see Jack Black playing Denham. But Adian Brody playing Jack Driscoll??????While he may be a good actor he sure doesn't look the part of the romantic lead/hero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hitman20 0 Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 I really don't understand what kind of movie Jackson is making.Me either. Why King Kong of all movie remakes too? And Jack Black, sure he's funny, but I don't think Jackson wants this movie taken too seriously with him in it. But, I'm sure I can expect a good laugh or two from Black.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted April 4, 2004 Share Posted April 4, 2004 I'm sure Black will be able to pull off the manic director type.While this remake may not top the original film, it will most certainly be better then the Dino Laurentiis remake, which had a good Barry score, Jessica Lange being stripped down by a big ape, and precious little else.
