Philippa Boyens in an American mind-set for King Kong

[from Coming Soon!]

The Lord of the Rings trilogy co-writer Philippa Boyens talked briefly to the Los Angeles Daily News about Universals' upcoming King Kong adaptation, to be directed by Peter Jackson and to star Naomi Watts.

She is again working with Lord of the Rings filmmaker Peter Jackson (they share Return of the King writing credits with Fran Walsh), penning his planned new version of King Kong. The new Kong has 21 Grams Oscar nominee Naomi Watts attached to star, and it's already set for an August production start.

"We're doing some work on it right now," says New Zealander Boyens, who adds that being back in the States - in L.A., to be exact - has helped her get into the American mind-set. "This is such an American story."
