Carl Denham, again
Wait a minute! Jack Black is playing Carl Denham in the up-coming King Kong movie? I just saw the trailer and I'm impressed. Of course, the film looks gorgeous (after all, it is a Peter Jackson project), but Mr. Black seemed to pull off the role. Admittedly, the trailer isn't a fair way to judge his performance, but it did dispel any fear that this sometimes-member of the Frat Pack may have spoiled the film. At worst, he will be mediocre. At best, his performance will confirm my pet theory that the best people to play drama are comedians.
