Peter Jackson Interview

I love these snapshots of Peter and how he's doing. I'm not surprised he's tired. He's been on a whirlwind with interviews, travels, and premier/Lovely Bones activities. I'll bet he's ready to get home and veg for a few days.

I'm also impressed with the author of the article. They touched on a lot of Peter's life and works considering it's not a very long article.

Yeah... this is a good one :) Thanks And back again!
 
I can't get over it...did he ever say how/why he lost so much weight? just lifestyle change or illness?? hopefully not...
 
He and Philippa chellenged each other to lose weight, but I don't believe either has mentioned who won that one - or if they even counted in the end.
 
As to his future projects, he talks of some possible ‘guerrilla film-making’ while Del Toro crafts his two-movie Hobbit project.
‘... I might be quite tempted to sneak in and rattle something off on the weekends.’


The last time he did any kind of guerrilla film-making (that we know of), he was hiding from the LOTR studio execs in Wellington while finishing off his Forgotten Silver TV movie.

More please, Pete!
 
Which I see was taken in 2009. Makes me wonder about the motives of this interviewer.

Wow I just mentioned I love Top Gear in another thread about Bilbo lookalikes. I thought Hamster ( Richard Hammond) looked very hobbitish . Who knew Peter is a fan as well.

About The Lovely Bones.


'There are some people who might enjoy watching a 14-year-old girl getting killed, a small minority maybe, but how could you live with yourself in providing that titillation? I wouldn’t want the movie defined by that.’

is this the same director who once declared: ‘I didn’t want to make movies, I wanted to make monsters’?

Goes to the heart of the great man. The interviewer doesn’t seem to understand that there is a big difference between fictional monsters and real ones. I think as a father, he just couldn’t go there.
All in all it was a good read. I leaned some things about Peter I didn’t know.
