Iran dubbing King Kong

TEHRAN, July 23 (MNA) – Veteran dubber Jalal Maqami and co. are making the acclaimed director Peter Jackson’s “King Kong” ready for the summertime airing of the blockbuster in Iran.
King Kong is the 2005 Academy Award-winning remake of the original 1933 King Kong.
The remake is about an overly ambitious movie producer who coerces his cast and hired ship crew to travel to mysterious Skull Island, where they encounter Kong, a giant ape.
Produced by Jackson and Fran Walsh, written by Jackson, Walsh and Philippa Boyens, the film stars Naomi Watts in the role of Ann Darrow, Jack Black as Carl Denham, Adrien Brody as Jack Driscoll, and through performance capture, Andy Serkis as Kong.
The film was released on December 14, 2005, and received very positive reviews, though not as positive as the reviews given to the Lord of the Rings trilogy that the director Peter Jackson had previously worked on.

The film made a modest opening of $50.1 million, and significantly underperformed expectations at the box office.
With a huge marketing campaign and many commercial tie-ins, the release was all-encompassing for the movie market, and was seriously challenged only by its other major competitor “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe”.
However, the DVD set record sales, and the film appears to have strong enough sales to allow Jackson to make his extended edition of the movies.
