Watts' King Kong Sized Accident
Naomi Watts, who plays Ann Darrow in the remake, fell heavily from a height into a narrow ditch during filming in New Zealand as shocked cast and crew watched helplessly. She says "I fell with quite a lot of force and I was jammed up in a hole. I had a brief period when I couldn't move and I thought I may be paralysed. I thought, 'This is it'". But she insists her rigorous yoga practice saved her from any serious damage. "But after a few seconds I was able to move and they slowly got me out. I thought, 'Thank goodness for my yoga.' It had made me supple and agile".
It's one of the most anticipated movies of the year, but star Naomi Watts was nearly left paralysed after a horrific fall on the set of King Kong.
