Two New Zealanders have joined the cast of Peter Jackson's remake of King Kong, according to The Dominion Post.

John Sumner, who played Giles O'Connor on Spin Doctors, and Craig Hall, who starred in a series called The Strip, will play cameramen who accompany Carl Denham (Jack Black) on his mission to Skull Island, to find the giant gorilla.

The actors join Billy Elliot star Jamie Bell, Adrien Brody and Naomi Watts.
