Peter Jackson Talks Lovely Bones

While the rest of use are worrying about the economy and whether we have jobs, there is one person who is having one hell of a year and has so much work he does not know what to do. And that is Mr Peter Jackson of Manuka St, Miramar Wellington.

While tackling two Tintin Films and two Hobbit films and over $500M in movie making purchase orders, Mr Jackson talked to USA Today.

On the subject of novel adaptation:

In the case of The Lovely Bones, I felt that it was subject matter not often dealt with in film, and with a tone that is also rare. Losing loved ones is something we all have to deal with, and when that story is partly told from the loved one’s point of view, it becomes quite interesting — especially with Susie’s sense of humor. Add to that the fact that Susie is killed by a man living just down the street, and it now becomes a very unique thriller.

Over at Slash Film he discusses three different Tintin films:

We were originally planning three to be in production at the same time in different stages, and we may well do that. At the moment we have this one and the studio[s] is financing the second one as well, which is in pre-production.

There is also speculation online about who exactly will direct the third film, the first being Spielberg and the second Jackson.

With the release of Lovely Bones in November and District 9 in August, the team at the arguebly the number one motion capture production house in the world have their work cut out.

    Ya, Jackson captures the grim essence of the novel even while compressing much of its character development and plot detail. He rounds out a fairly amazing decade as a film-maker by anyone’s standards with this sad, dreamy, hopeful film that defies easy genre classification or even summary.

    Agreed that the novel was great. Peter did an awesome job but I wouldn’t say he killed it. It was very hard plot to shape but he did a great job nonetheless!
