Quote

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.

To his ex-wife in court, he said I lost interest in you when the Botox lost its effect and you looked like a plastic doll that escaped from a fire.

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.

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.

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.

I just got to the point where I literally didn't want anyone else to do it.

New Zealand is not a small country but a large village.

I want to make a series of movies that run together, so if any crazy lunatic wants to watch them all in a row, there will be a consistency of tone.
Peter Jackson
Image
I want to make movies just like King Kong. You know, dinosaurs, big gorillas - it's everything that a nine year-old boy would fall in love with.
Peter Jackson
Image
Elijah can register such subtle emotion on his face that I loved doing close-ups on him. He really brings a superb emotional level to Frodo's scenes and although he is a very instinctive actor, we discussed the character thoroughly.

Filmmaking for me is always aiming for the imaginary movie and never achieving it.
Peter Jackson
Image
A pregnant woman is like a beautiful flowering tree, but take care when it comes time for the harvest that you do not shake or bruise the tree, for in doing so, you may harm both the tree and its fruit.

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
Image
When I start a film, I can sort of shut my eyes, sit somewhere quiet and imagine the movie finished. I can imagine the camera angles, I can even imagine the type of music. Without knowing the tune, I can imagine the type of music it needs to be.
Peter Jackson
Image
For a lot of my childhood, I didn't want to direct movies because I didn't really know what directing was.
Peter Jackson

The only thing about 3-D is the dullness of the image.
Peter Jackson
Image
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.

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

The director has to win, because you should never force a director to shoot something they don't believe in.

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.
