In this version, however, she and the gorilla form an emotional bond, with Ann recognizing human traits such as intelligence and empathy in her captor-turned-guardian. In the 1933 film, Ann Darrow remains frightened of the giant ape throughout the film.
The new version presents a variety of insects and leech-like creatures, but eschews spiders, possibly to avoid feeling like a retread of Jackson's previous film, The Return of the King, which had featured a battle with a huge spider. Originally, stop-motion spiders attacked and ate the crew members who fell off of the log bridge and into the gorge it spanned. The 2005 film contains a scene from the screenplay and novel of the 1933 version, which never made it into the film(whether this scene was shot or not is still up for debate). Whilst in the 1933 version they portrayed Kong as a unique gorilla-like ape, this Kong is purely a giant silverback gorilla its behaviours are very accurate to silverbacks. Kong is played less as a monster and more as an animal. All references to and quotes from Conrad's Heart of Darkness are new to this version of the story. In the original film, they allowed Denham's party to leave without incident in this version, they kill several members of the group before the Venture's captain arrives with help. The natives of Skull Island are much more hostile. Jack Driscoll is now a playwright who is working on Denham's screenplay previously, he was the First Mate of the Venture. He is motivated more out of desperation than greed, whereas the 1933 film never brought the character's actions into question. The newer incarnation is also played as much more of an antihero smarmy but likable. The newer film portrays him as a man on the outs with the studio heads who steals the footage for his own film and flees after learning the bosses are planning to scrap the picture. He was originally a successful, respected filmmaker. The character of Denham is quite different.
Ann did not appear in the 1933 film until the point at which Denham covered for her attempted shoplifting of food. There is much more backstory given to the two principals, Ann Darrow and Carl Denham. The most obvious difference is that of running time: while the films are very similar structurally, the 2005 film is an hour and a half longer than the 1933 film.
