This is really cool

It seems that Peter Jackson has cast (or is about to cast) the wonderful Naomi Watts in the part of Ann Darrow in his remake of King Kong. This is a perfect piece of casting and I can't wait to see the film. I rate Watts in Mulholland Drive and Reese Witherspoon in Election (which I watched again the other day and which was even better than I remembered it to be) to be the actresses most deserving of oscars but who weren't even nominated in recent years.

Update: There is a good little profile of Naomi Watts in the SMH.
