Among the things that Onfilm magazine found out for November is one that made me sit up a little. A few months ago Peter Jackson bought the National Film Unit to handle post-production. It’s just made a ‘classified’ major investment in sound equipment, and is planning to expand the digital video domain as well. So they’re taking good care of the sound on these movies too.<\/p>\n
Another snippet from the same mag gave a quote out of the Variety interview which I don’t remember reading there: The reporter asked him why he continued to work only in NZ and Jackson replied, “Why leave the Shire to go and live in Mordor?”<\/p>\n
Lastly there’s a few bits of DVD news: Old buddy and co-director Costa Botes who made the mockumentary ‘Forgotten Silver’ with Jackson is preparing a special US edition of it that will include a ‘making-of’ segment and an interview with PJ. Meanwhile several distributors want to release ‘Forgotten Silver’ on DVD format, and PJ’s first feature ‘Bad Taste’ will soon be re-released as a DVD and shown on the Sci-Fi Channel in the US. ‘Bad Taste’ has earned over a million dollars (NZ) and returned 350% on its original budget.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
