Serkis Looks Forward To Working On “King Kong”
Serkis Confirms Kong Talk
Lord of the Rings star Andy Serkis confirmed in a SCIFI.COM chat that he’s talked with Rings director Peter Jackson about playing the title role in Jackson’s upcoming remake of the classic SF movie King Kong, though nothing is set. In response to a question from SCI FI Wire in the Dec. 2 chat, Serkis said, “At the moment nothing is confirmed. But I would give anything to work with Peter again. And we’ve talked.”
Serkis, who provided the voice and movements for the computer-animated character Gollum in the Rings films, would likely do the same for Kong. Serkis added that other Rings stars may work with Jackson again. “He’s expressed a desire to work with a lot of the cast again,” Serkis said.
Serkis’ talents will be on view in the upcoming last Rings film, The Return of the King, which opens Dec. 17.
