Naomi Watts moved to Australia where, in Sydney, she attended several acting schools
and in the very first lesson in the first school, she met Nicole Kidman.
Upon returning to Australia, Watts went to work for a local department store and from there she went to work as assistant fashion editor with an Australian fashion magazine. In 2001, Watts appeared in David Lynch’s Mulholland Dr., a performance which won high praise. The quality and size of Watts’ roles improved after Mulholland Dr., and she starred in the highly successful US remake of The Ring, a Japanese horror movie. 2005 sees the release of King Kong, where Naomi Watts stars alongside the great ape, Kong.
The Eighth Wonder of the World
King Kong is a New Zealand/United States adventure/fantasy movie remake of the original
1933 movie about a giant ape named Kong written by Merian C. Cooper and Edgar Wallace.
It is directed by Peter Jackson, produced by Jackson and Fran Walsh, and written by Jackson, Walsh and Philippa Boyens. The cast includes Naomi Watts in the role of Ann Darrow and Jack Black as Carl Denham. The original score will be composed by James Newton Howard, who replaces Jackon’s long-time collaborator Howard Shore due to their “differing creative aspirations for the score of King Kong.”
Filming in Miramar, New Zealand has completed, and the film is due for release December 2005.
