...Franz Liebkind, played to zany perfection by Will Ferrell—a new addition for the movie. Their plan is set into motion when they also enlist the worst director in the business, the flamboyant (to put it mildly) Roger De Bris, played by scene-stealing Gary Beach. And fate comes knocking when Ulla, a sexy aspiring actress with a heavy Swedish accent, shows up at their doorstep. Although they hire her as a secretary/receptionist, sparks fly between her and Leo. All seems well until, despite their best efforts, the show opens and accidentally becomes a runaway success.The Broadway production...
...recent years - that of the geopolitical thinker and analyst, a role he clearly relishes. The man who once concerned himself with every aspect of Singaporeans' lives - right down to who they should marry and how many children they should have - now seems to be less obsessed with the fate of the island state, and more concerned with China's "peaceful rise" and the threat of militant Islam.

The playwright, Mazen Saadeh, describes the fate of his play as a prime example of the conflict between political oldsters and the new generation.

...technology to mixed avail. His homages to the original's most famous scenes are sometimes spectacularly expansive. Where once the Big Guy had just a handful of prehistoric creatures to deal with, he now has herds of them. But Jackson's other improvements are ludicrous, most notably the fate of poor Ann Darrow, the actress who becomes Kong's victim/love object. In the original, Fay Wray came to sympathize with the beast. But Watts plays Ann as a seductress, consciously leading the big lug on. Suffice it to say that King Kong has lost its divine innocence. And our response...
