From comingsoon.net: First off, the presentation started with a Q&A with Peter Jackson who was filming a DVD bonus feature for some unknown film (it apparently wasn’t King Kong). He indicated that he had hours and hours of behind the scenes footage from his older films like Meet the Feebles and Bad Taste. He indicated he wanted to do something with it in the next year, but he had to arrange time to do it. He also stated that he and New Line would like to do a “Super Uber Lord of the Rings” DVD box set. It’s not official, but they all want to do it. Jackson wants to do it showing the making of the film from a different perspective. [More]
