The key person in that may well have been producer Barrie Osborne, who was far less the studio's overseer than he was Jackson's enabler. 12,000 miles of distance didn't hurt!
Barrie Osborne wasn't the studio's overseer. He was in charge with keeping the production - on an adminstrative level - going on schedule. So he was the one setting meetings and dates, but I don't think he had a say in a single, overriding creative decision. Almost like a line-producer.
There was never any substantial studio interference in the screenplay or the cut of any of the films. Jackson is an auteur. Remarkably, he never worked as a "filmmaker for hire" - always initiating the projects he's involved in, and deciding his own level of involvement in them. Even renouned auteurs like Coppola can't claim to have done that.
Just recently, he turned down the CEO of Warner Brothers TWICE for doing Aquaman. I find that hysterical, and admirable.
it's plain from what he did in LR that PJ's watching fare is heavy on the Spielberg and light on the Scorsese.
Eh?!
Peter Jackson is immensly influenced by Martin Scorcese. He says that whenever he's shooting, he watches Goodfellas just about on-loop. You can really see it in the perpetual motion of his cameras.
Jackson is also influenced by Sir David Lean, Kubrick, Leone (just look at both directors' fondness for the extreme close-up) and others - as well taking quite a few pages from the astounding Braveheart.
Literally couldn't ask for a better set of influences.
...what, exactly? Her lack of participation in the commentary tracks? Do you have more substantial evidence?
Exactly.
Might I point out that Fran Walsh is Peter Jackson's W I F E. When we say "Peter Jackson", we're really talking about him and Walsh, as a creative couple. He's never done anything without her, and vice versa.
In the Behind-the-scenes documentary, you can hear him consulting with her on the composition of individual shots.
She's just camera-shy, is all.
