No film has captivated my imagination more than 'King Kong.' I'm making movies today because I saw this film when I was 9 years old.

More quotes by Peter Jackson
Filmmaking for me is always aiming for the imaginary movie and never achieving it.
Peter Jackson
One does not simply walk into Mordor.
Peter Jackson
As a filmmaker, you are going to manipulate the character as you need to make the scenes work.
Peter Jackson
You shouldn't think of these movies as being 'The Lord of the Rings.' The Lord of the Rings is, and always will be, a wonderful book - one of the greatest ever written. Any films will only ever be an INTERPRETATION of the book. In this case my interpretation.
Peter Jackson
Every film is a challenge. I always say that making a movie is like film school - you're always learning. But unlike most schools, you never get done with it. You never learn everything.
Peter Jackson
Motion-capture is not a genre. Motion-capture is a tool and technique and what we tried to do was to really use both motion-capture and traditional animation to build a system.
Peter Jackson
And so I look back on not just the last ten years but everything that I've done as being sort of an ongoing growing continual film school. I mean I don't think I've got to a point where I've achieved anything that feels like, a particular milestone, but there's still a lot more to learn and hopefully a lot more films to make.
Peter Jackson
I think that George Lucas' 'Star Wars' films are fantastic. What he's done, which I admire, is he has taken all the money and profit from those films and poured it into developing digital sound and surround sound, which we are using today.
Peter Jackson
When you're casting a movie and when you're shooting a film, the eyes are the most important feature of any performer, really. Any great actor literally knows exactly how to use their eyes, and even as a filmmaker I love shooting huge close-ups because it's those eyes that mean so much to me.
Peter Jackson
The music in a film like this is as critical as anything because Kong is mute. He doesn't talk.
Peter Jackson
Some believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found. I found it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay small acts of kindness and love.
Peter Jackson
The one thing with 3D presentations is I think that 3D itself, whether it's 24 or 48, is at a very interesting point in time.
Peter Jackson
It's interesting how the frame rate actually changes the perception of the 3D as well as making it more comfortable to watch.
Peter Jackson
The big-budget blockbuster is becoming one of the most dependable forms of filmmaking.
Peter Jackson
Writing a screen play with a group of collaborators is like the Lennon McCartney collaboration .... sometimes one or two people do more than others on certain parts of the process and vice versa.
Peter Jackson
Everything is in a script for a reason, and only by being part of a writing team (or writing it yourself), do you really understand the intention of every beat.
Peter Jackson
I don't believe in the concept that 3D should be shot separately. I mean, every director has their own style, sure, but I don't think any of that is really an issue with 3D.
Peter Jackson
He who must search a haystack for a needle is likely to end up with the attitude that the needle is not worth the search.
Peter Jackson
Two of the actors, Sean Bean and Orlando Bloom, have been caught between two landslides and are now trapped in a tiny town in the middle of the South Island. They have been taken in by a kindly woman who has offered them food and a bed. They were last reported to be cooking spaghetti and cracking into a bottle of red wine.
Peter Jackson
I wanted people to believe that there could still be this little undiscovered piece of the world that survives still on Skull Island.
Peter Jackson
