Monster battle for King Kong

King Kong will have to prove his muscle this Christmas when he takes on not one but three T-Rex dinosaurs in Peter Jackson’s remake of the classic film.

An exclusive preview clip has revealed the monster fight scene, which takes place in the jungle as the film's heroine Naomi Watts is chased by the prehistoric beasts.

Having escaped all manner of flesh-eating predators, Watts finds herself cornered by the grisly trio and it is left to the mammoth ape to rescue her in a dramatic test of strength.

The latest CGI technology ensures the brutal but stunning fight scene is even more realistic than ever - a far cry from the original 1930s animated action.

The hero of the piece, King Kong, seems almost human with his myriad of facial expressions and has been brought to life by British actor Andy Serkis, the man behind Gollum in Lord of the Rings.

The lengthy fight scene sees Naomi Watts tossed about like a rag doll as King Kong tries to save her from becoming the dinosaurs' next snack.

Audiences will be on the edge of their seats as they wait to see who wins the the ultimate rumble in the jungle.

The film will be released in UK cinemas on 15 December.
