Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport have issued an apology after they published a cartoon depicting Mario Balotelli as King Kong.

Fay Wray, who won everlasting fame as the damsel held atop the Empire State Building by the giant ape in the 1933 film classic King Kong, has died at 96.

Peter Jackson's s version of King Kong will be as "scary as hell" according to the film's star Jack Black.

He was created over 70 years ago, but King Kong is still the best movie monster of all time, according to experts.

Australian actress Naomi Watts is the prime candidate to play King Kong’s female friend in Peter Jackson’s remake of the 1930s movie, it was reported today.
