I wanted people to believe that there could still be this little undiscovered piece of the world that survives still on Skull Island.

Filmmaking for me is always aiming for the imaginary movie and never achieving it.

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

Image
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.

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.

The music in a film like this is as critical as anything because Kong is mute. He doesn't talk.
Peter Jackson

If you work at love, you will find love at work.

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.

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.

As a filmmaker, you are going to manipulate the character as you need to make the scenes work.
Peter Jackson
Image
Fantasy is an 'F' word that hopefully the five second delay won't do anything with.
Peter Jackson
Image
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.
Peter Jackson

To people in my industry I'm usually a guy that tries to generate his own projects and I remain very elusive when people try and attach me to big projects.

For a lot of my childhood, I didn't want to direct movies because I didn't really know what directing was.

It's interesting how the frame rate actually changes the perception of the 3D as well as making it more comfortable to watch.
