A still from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Highlights
- Director Peter Jackson wants to take a break from making Hollywood blockbusters once he is done with The Hobbit trilogy.
- Jackson, who has helmed The Lord of the Rings series and The Hobbit trilogy, wants to come up with some projects based in New Zealand, reported Huffington Post.
- The New Zealand filmmaker along with Fran Walsh and many others have written the screenplay of the fantasy series. "We have got a few bits and pieces that we are working on, Fran and I. We just want to step off the Hollywood blockbuster thing for a while and we've had a few New Zealand stories in line for a while that we think would make great films," Jackson said.
- "In some respects in terms of my remaining filmmaking career, this was a five-year chunk that was kind of taken out of it unexpectedly. My future is five years less than I thought it was. I thought if I am going to do that I am actually going to enjoy it. I am going to have fun. Hopefully, that is reflected on the screen, too," he added.
