New Zealand Post is celebrating Peter Jackson's remake of 'King Kong' with a stamp issue featuring images from the movie.

Each of the images for the five stamps was personally approved by Jackson.

The film is a remake of the 1939 classic in which an expedition exploring the remote Skull Island captures a gigantic ape (King Kong) and brings it back to New York. A beautiful young actress, who accompanies them, is put in danger when Kong's love for her causes him to break out.

The film stars Naomi Watts, Adrien Brody, Jack Black and Andy Serkis.

You can find out and order the stamps via their web site.
