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.

Most directors prefer to direct everything themselves. I thought I could on Lord Of The Rings, but very quickly found out that the sheer scale prevented it.
Peter Jackson
Image
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
Image
To me, fantasy should be as real as possible. I don't buy into the notion that because it's fantastic, it should be unrealistic, because I think you have to have a sense of believing the world that you're going into.
Peter Jackson
Image
The music in a film like this is as critical as anything because Kong is mute. He doesn't talk.
Peter Jackson
Image
One does not simply walk into Mordor.
Peter Jackson

Fantasy is an 'F' word that hopefully the five second delay won't do anything with.
Peter Jackson

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

Rivalry doesn't help anybody.
Peter Jackson
Image
I adore physical miniatures and try to use them as much as I can and have a bit of a fetish about that.

I think that's the job of a director really, to sort of funnel all the creativity into one centralized point of being.

I am a big Dragon fan. I've said it before- And I was fortunate enough to be born a Dragon in the Chinese Horocope.
Peter Jackson
Image
The only thing about 3-D is the dullness of the image.
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
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
Image
The director has to win, because you should never force a director to shoot something they don't believe in.
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
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
Image
In an ideal world the script is written lean and tight and therefore there are no scenes left on the cuttring room floor and therefore no extended edition.
Peter Jackson
Image
Film is such a powerful medium. It's like a weapon and I think you have a duty to self-censor.
Peter Jackson
Image
I just got to the point where I literally didn't want anyone else to do it.
