For years, American filmmaker and showman Carl Denham has been recognized for his movies of untamed nature, shot in exotic locations around the globe. Now, in late 1932, he's about to embark on his most dangerous gamble - to film the movie that could make or ruin his reputation. Along with first mate Jack Driscoll, a camera crew, and actress Ann Darrow, guided only by an arcane map, Denham sets sail for the lost world of Skull Island. What they encounter there exceeds even their wildest nightmares. The island's peninsula is shielded by a giant wall, built by a long-vanished civilization, which protects the inhabitants from something on the other side - something monstrous, all-powerful...and terribly alive. Danger becomes deadly when Denham, Driscoll, and the beautiful Ann Darrow come face-to-face with the beast-god of Skull Island, King Kong. Since its release in 1933, Merian C. Cooper's film King Kong has shocked and delighted generations of movie fans, setting the standard against which all special-effects movies have been judged ever since. Merian C. Cooper's King Kong is a full, expanded rewrite of the 1932 novel, bringing his original vision back for today's fans.
