This Sunday, January 11th, Peter will participate in a Q&A at Lincoln Center via satellite from New Zealand. We have learned that Peter had hoped to attend in person, however, as you know, he is currently working to complete the extended edition of The Return of the King. (Rather important work!) Due to the upcoming production schedule for King Kong, if PJ does not complete the extended edition now, word has it, that the ROTK EX would not be able to be finished for two years! PJ feels that would be unfair to us fans who has been so supportive of the Trilogy.
The Lord of the Rings finale is set to be the trilogy’s most successful film after taking $270m (£148m) in its first 12 days outside the US, a report says. That is 27% ahead of the second film at this stage, Variety magazine reported. [More]
