Peter Jackson Wants to Make More Tolkien MoviesPosted: December 18th, 2014 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
|
  Peter Jackson spent a good chunk of his life working on the works of JRR Tolkien that have resulted in three "Lord of the Rings" films and three "The Hobbit" films. And now that the director is promoting the final movie, "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies," he revealed that he may one day return for more.
"If I had to start tomorrow, I would say no, because I definitely would appreciate a break to clear my head and get my little New Zealand stories done, which is where my passion and my heart is heading now," he explained. "But ask me in two or three years, and I'd probably say yes. It would be hard to see another filmmaker go into this world, because I certainly have an emotional ownership of it."
The problem is that Jackson wants to adapt Tolkien's "The Silmarillion," which the author retained the rights to when he sold the film rights to "Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" in the 1960s. Now, "The Silmarillion" is owned by Tolkien's estate and they're not fans of Jackson's movies.

...because they just didn't do proper justice to Tolkien's stories, right?
f*cking bullsh*t that the "estates" of dead people have any f*cking pull whatsoever. Damned US copyright laws. Books should hit public domain twenty-five years after the author's death, and no later. "Estates" should get sh*t and like it.

Translation: Peter Jackson isn't ruling out making some more of that sweet, sweet money.

That comes of a bit arrogant. Millions of Tolkien fans across the globe have each their own personal investment in the world of Middle-Earth, and some of them might be filmmakers who may one day want to express their version cinematically.
"Emotional ownership" sounds like a smug way of saying, "Go away! This is my sandbox! My Toys!" Sorry Mr. Jackson (I am for real!) but you don’t own anything but the movies you directed.

The Silmarillion would be far to expensive to shoot, way more epic than LOTR!

Never heard of that one. Is it associated with the LOTR story?

You have to view it from a creative standpoint to understand. The man literally wrote and worked on every aspect of this franchise. Him and Weta created all the effects, he wrote the scripts, directed all 6 films, and more than anything has put time and effort equal to Tolkien himself in adapting Tolkien's death.
@everyone
We'll see what happens but why Tolkien's estate hates the movies is beyond me. I watched the movies and read the books. Minus the ending to Return of the King which was a little silly honestly to me with Sarumon ruling the Shire after already killing Sauron? I mean come on. The LOTR are some of the best book adaptations, especially of such a giant war epic like that. There were so elements in the book that would have made the film boring. Aragorn just walks into Gondor and that's it? And I guess they defeat Sauron early in the book. Jackson did a great job and the Hobbit films were made as both an adaptation of that book and the prefixes that explain where Gandalf is. Jackson handled that series the best you could. Anyone who says different was just being picky.

adapting Tolkien's works.*
I just woke up. Sorry. NO idea how "death" got in the mix. LOL My point is that Tolkien worked like 15-20 years on his Middle-Earth. For Jackson it was about 17. He worked damn hard.

I also read The Hobbit and the LOTR trilogy years ago and the films have been fantastic adaptations.
I really have no idea what the TolkieNerds are bitching about.

@Sleuth
I understand the meaning of his sentiment, the gist of what he's saying. I just think he could have perhaps worded it better, as the term "emotional ownership" rings with such dismissive absolution, particularly in how he's speaking in regards to the notion of anyone else adapting a Tolkien novel.

I understand. He's only human man. He's made one I the most successful franchises ever. He's entitled to a couple bad choice of words. LOL
@Deaft0ne
Exactly. No idea the problem. They would be lucky to have Jackson direct a trilogy about the Silmarillion. Not that I don't admire the Tolkien's desire for purity of the work. You can definitely respect that. But I just feel they are nitpicking. Not to mention because of these films a woke new generation has now fed their pocketbooks. Again though, it's an integrity thing which I respect.

They are not fans because they are idiots and couldn't make the films themselves. Greedy geyser f*cks.
