Peter Jackson. It's hard to describe how much I appreciate this man. He sort of makes it feel like I can accomplish anything with enough imagination, focus, hard work, determination, a love of what you are doing, authenticity, and a dash of fear of failure thrown in for the perfect recipe for success. Of course he is probably brilliant too, but maybe brilliance is all these things put together, not some intangible, unreachable quality born to a few lucky souls. I love how he admitted that toward the end of this massive project his mental fatigue meant he needed to rely a bit more on the cast. And they clearly delivered. Funny how life imitates the art they were creating... a fellowship dedicated to a project that was bigger than they could imagine going in and then resulting in the inspiration and bringing of light to the world. Especially during and then foreshadowing darker times ahead. Anytime I'm tempted to lose hope in the world, I remember Gandalf, Sam, Frodo or any of the other brave characters in Middle Earth.

I just really genuinely like Peter Jackson as much as I admire him. This balance is unique because I admire many people but they may not be necessarily "likable", like he is. Peter Jackson is so humble and definitely a master film-maker.

My big takeaway here: Some fear is good. Focus on the parts you already had planned (rather than getting overwhelmed by the enormity of the scope of it.) Don't try to guess what other people would want. Create something based on what would please you, what you would want. That is likely to be as close to what anyone else would want anyway. So you don't have to second guess yourself so much. (And also, you can't please everyone all of the time anyway.)

That is correct. The reason for that is that the original rights holder to the Lord of the Rings on film owed Weinstein a favour when he needed funding for his passion project. It took a few months, but Weinstein eventually got the film right from the Saul Zaentz Company to Miramax. There were once just two films under that original deal, but Weinstein obviously didn’t get LotR and tried to compress it into one film.

@@JoeyArmstrong2800 I see what ur saying brother, maybe just the level of money and corporate interaction with their studio, market, and audience couldn’t allow for a truly romanticized and completely novel rendition. Kind of a give and take tradeoff with being original vs paying the wages of the staff, actors, backers. Seems to be a consistent theme in hollywood being too safe as PJ often has stated, and maybe he will never really share certain thoughts about his own creations that could be more aligned with your ideas than we think.
