If you make a trilogy, the whole point is to get to that third chapter, and the third chapter is what justifies what's come before.
From Peter Jackson
I love Bilbo Baggins. I relate really well to Bilbo!
I never wanted to do 'The Hobbit' in the first place.
I just think that we're living in a world where the technology is advancing so rapidly. You're having cameras that are capable of more and more - the resolution on cameras is jumping up.
We had to get past the mechanical film age to be able to explore other things, but it will be interesting.
Critics in particular treat CGI as a virus that's infecting film.
I remember when I was - I must've been 17 or 18 years old - I remember 'The Empire Strikes Back' had a big cliffhanger ending, and it was, like, three years before the next one came out.
If you're an only child, you spend a lot of time by yourself, and you develop a strong ability to entertain yourself, to conjure up fantasy.
Too often, you see film makers from other countries who have made interesting, original films, and then they come here and get homogenized into being hack Hollywood directors. I don't want to fall into that.
I have a freedom that's incredibly valuable. Obviously my freedom is far smaller in scale than people like Zemeckis and Spielberg have here. But it's comparable. I can dream up a project, develop it, make it, control it, release it.
