On this New York early winter morning, the top of the Empire State Building is coated in heavy cloud, the Manhattan streets below are slippery with snow, and the temperature hovers around zero. A few blocks away inside a chintzy hotel room above Park Avenue, Peter Jackson’s own observation deck is stuck in its own mental fog. Granted, he has been a bit busy at work. He nearly always is in December. Though this time last year was relatively light, a bit of a breather after the consecutive releases of the Lord of the Rings trilogy which became the cinematic grand finales of 2001-2003. [More]

Paul writes: New Zealand’s Oscar winning Peter Jackson first fell in love with the 1933 King Kong when he was a mere 9 years old. Now, a few decades later and the gargantuan success of Lord of the Rings behind him, Jackson has fulfilled his life long ambition by bringing the mighty Kong to the screen as only this director can.

DVD critic Ken Miyamoto raves: “A wonderful special edition with A-List interviews, detailed history, and some fine extras as well! ….What surprised me most was that RINGERS was not just about the excellent Peter Jackson epic adaptations. This film covers everything from the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and to the present. Everything you’d want to know about Tolkien’s “Lord of the Rings” is in this fine film!” [More]
Anders writes: Swedish magazine Aftonbladet has interviewed Peter Jackson. He talks about how he had to pay parts of the movie himself and how he’s going to take at least a year off after the release of King Kong. The article is in Swedish. [More]
