I have a little prediction to make regarding the upcoming King Kong remake: it'll flop. Rather disappointingly, I imagine, to any studio executives who are betting the house on it. It's a remake of a classic, and those two terms sit firmly on opposite sides of the box-office draw see-saw, and "classic" loses support every day. "Gone With the Wind" is now, by definition alone, the most classic movie ever. Ask modern under-thirties if they care and they'll ask you right back "Gone With the what?". I am confidently predicting an analogous "King Who?" response to King Kong.

PS - That's including the draw potential of Naomi Watts and Jack Black.
PPS - I just don't think it will be particularly good.
