Director Peter Jackson, at work on his own remake of
"King Kong," is helping produce bonus materials for
the DVD debut of the 1933 original.

Jackson is working on a new documentary, "RKO
Production 601: The Making of Kong, the Eighth Wonder
of the World," a two-hour, seven-part feature included
in the two-disc "King Kong" set, which Warner Home
Video will release on Nov. 22.

Julie Delpy and Hope Davis are joining the ensemble
cast of the drama "Hoax."

Richard Gere will star as Clifford Irving, the man who
wrote and sold a bogus biography of Howard Hughes.
Delpy will play Irving's mistress. Davis will play
Andrea Tate, an employee at McGraw-Hill.

Delpy, who received an Academy Award screenplay
nomination this year for co-writing "Before Sunset,"
co-stars in Jim Jarmusch's "Broken Flowers." Her
credits include "An American Werewolf in Paris,"
