A remake is a film that was produced by, based on, or inspired by an existing older film. Whether it's an allusion or a line-for-line take on a film, the term remake covers everything in the realm of reused material. However, the term generally refers to a new version of an old film, usually with significant changes in production and narrative. King Kong, published in 1933 by Merian C. Cooper and Ernest B. Schoedsack, is no exception. Legendary for its developments in soundtrack and visual effects, the original version of the film was the inspiration behind Peter Jackson's desire to become a director, remaking it in 2005 this time with new developments and interpretations of the music and visual effects, as well as the story and characters. .The remake follows the general lines of the original story, but with some fundamental adjustments. Peter Jackson turns the 100 minute running time of 1933 into a full 3 hours by creating more in-depth backstory and character development. The protagonists are much more established than in the original 1933 version. As the story begins, the future of Ann Darrow, the female protagonist, both as an actress and in terms of general living expenses, is in question. She chases a reluctant Broadway producer to get a job and, just like in the original, even tries to steal an apple while she's starving, which leads her to Carl Denham who approaches her with the opportunity to be in his movie . Ann's complexity as a character in the remake also allows for more development in the relationship between Beauty and the Beast. This significant change gives the film a new level of heart that the previous film lacked.

In 2005, the computer-generated King Kong was brought to life primarily through two techniques, motion capture and digital animation, creating a much more lifelike Kong with much more lifelike movement and quality. Over the years there have been great advances in production and storytelling technologies. . These advances in technologies such as sound and visual effects, along with the longer evolution of characterization and plot/story, create a more realistic cinematic experience that allows audiences to form a greater emotional attachment and level of sympathy and empathy towards the 'actor. characters, story and, subsequently, the film as a whole. This has given filmmakers the ability to recreate and remake older films, such as King Kong, using newer and more effective filmmaking techniques..
