It looks like, in addition to his work on the Extended Edition for the Battle of the Five Armies, Peter Jackson will be investing a bit of his time this year to launch a WWI museum. Is it too much to think this might be a pointer toward that Dambusters project?<\/p>\n
Director Peter Jackson said Wednesday he’s putting his energy into helping launch a museum to commemorate World War I after finishing his “Hobbit” movie trilogy.<\/p>\n
If he has any plans for future blockbusters, he’s not saying.<\/p>\n
Jackson was speaking at his New Zealand post-production facility where he was helping host an event to promote the local film industry. Directors Jane Campion and James Cameron also attended.<\/p>\n
Jackson is a World War I history buff who owns a number of planes from the era.<\/p>\n
He said the plan for the Wellington museum was to open during April to mark the 100th anniversary of the Gallipoli battle.<\/p>\n
He said more galleries would be opened over the coming four years to mark other battles in which New Zealanders fought.<\/p>\n
The New Zealand Herald newspaper reported earlier that Jackson had been recruited by the government to curate the museum, and he was expected to gather aircraft, tanks and other artifacts from private and public collections.<\/p>\n
