Limited to 2500 Units.
It is 1933, and vaudeville actress Ann Darrow (Oscar nominee Naomi Watts) has found herself - like so many other New Yorkers during the Great Depression - without the means to earn a living. Unwilling to compromise and allow herself to sink into a career in burlesque, she considers her limited options while aimlessly wandering the streets of Manhattan. When her hunger drives her to unsuccessfully try to steal an apple from a fruit vendor's stall, she is rescued - literally - by filmmaker and multiple hyphenate Carl Denham (Jack Black).
It seems that the entrepreneur-raconteur-adventurer is no stranger to theft, having that day lifted the only existing print of his most recent and unfinished film from under his studio executives' noses when they threatened to pull his completion funds. Carl has until the end of the day to get his crew onboard the Singapore-bound tramp steamer, the S.S. Venture, in hopes of completing his travelogue/action film. With that, the showman is certain he will finally achieve the personal greatness he knows awaits him around the corner - and although the crew believe that corner to be Singapore, Denham actually hopes to find and capture on film the mysterious place of legend: Skull Island.
Unfortunately for Carl, his headlining actress has pulled out of his project, but his search for a size-four leading lady (the costumes have all been made) has, fatefully, led him to Ann. The struggling actress is reluctant to sign on with Denham, until she learns that the up-and-coming, socially relevant playwright Jack Driscoll (Oscar winner Adrien Brody) is penning the screenplay - the fees his friend Carl pays for potboiling adventure are a welcome supplement to Driscoll's nominal income from his stage plays.
With his newly discovered star and coerced screenwriter reluctantly onboard, Denham's 'moving picture ship' heads out of New York Harbor... and toward a destiny that none aboard could possibly foresee...

Got my King Kong steelbook and I had to write a review, I was that impressed! Absolutely gorgeous steelbook design, great artwork throughout with a lovely smooth gloss finish to it. Has gone into my top 10 steelbooks for sure! Oh, not sure if it mentions it in the description but included with this blu ray is the extended and theatrical cuts of the film, both on the one disc. If you haven't seen this on blu ray yet it is a visual showcase of pure hi-def beauty and this stunning steelbook compliments it wonderfully.
One of my favorite steelbooks. Beautiful looking artwork both on the front and back. Glossy finish with vibrant colors. Comes with 2 movie cuts and has good variety of subtitles: English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, German, Cantonese, Croatian, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, Greek, Italian, Norwegian, Swedish. Just Amazing steelbook!

Revelation! Very fast delivery! Product in excellent condition! Recommended!!!
Well, the steelbook itself is great and most of the movie as well. Sure, it's a looooooooooong movie, maybe even unneccesarily so, but it still brings a great world to get lost in. I would definitely reccommend the movie to seekers of adventure. Just dont watch if you've got a habit of falling asleep in front of your tv.
