8vo-over 7¾"-9¾" tall 0007175582 This work presents an authorised and fully illustrated insight into the life and career of the award-winning director, from his childhood film projects up to "King Kong", together with Jackson's revealing personal account of his six-year quest to film "The Lord of the Rings". Once, Peter Jackson was a name unknown to all but a small band of loyal fans and fellow film-makers. Now, he is the newest member of Hollywood's elite fellowship, with his name on the most successful movie trilogy of all time. Written with Jackson's full participation, this extensive biography, illustrated with never-before-seen photos from Jackson's personal collection, tells the inside story of how a New Zealander became Hollywood's hottest property-from the early cult classics, through Academy Award-winning success with Kate Winslet's "Heavenly Creatures", the abandoned "King Kong" remake, and the filming of "The Lord of the Rings", a project which was abandoned two years into pre-production, rejected by most of the other studios and then picked up by New Line Cinema in the biggest gamble in film history. Drawing upon interviews with fifty of Peter Jackson's colleagues and contemporaries, author Brian Sibley paints a portrait of a true auteur, a man gifted with single-minded determination and an artist's vision. Jackson himself is both revealing and insightful about his entire film-making life, from his first childhood steps filming in Super 8 to the grand realisation of his life's dream: "King Kong". Together, these joint narratives provide a truly unique and compelling insight into one of the finest cinematic minds at work today.

Never before has film-maker Peter Jackson revealed so much about himself and his work. In this authorised biography, the boy from Wellington's Pukerua Bay reveals how he beat Hollywood at its own game. It is a story of passion, single-minded determination, and, above all, an artistic vision and a sense of dramatic scale. Through Jackson's eyes and own words, as well as re-tellings and memories of friends, family and associates, we are shown how the director's early life-with its obsessively pursued hobbies and first childhood attempts at film-making-were effectively one big audition for The Lord of the Rings and King Kong. The book explores the Academy Award-winning success of Heavenly Creatures, the first abandoned King Kong re-make, then the triumphant filming of The Lord of the Rings-a project that was abandoned two years into pre-production, rejected by most studios and then picked up by New Line Cinema in the biggest gamble in film history. It takes us through the filming of Jackson's boyhood dream, King Kong, and on to his new project, The Lovely Bones. The story of Peter Jackson will inspire everyone who admires creativity and courage, who loves movies or is proud that a clever film-maker from a small country can show the giants of the movie world that vision and passion can succeed. BRIAN SIBLEY, the man Peter Jackson chose to work with on this biography, is a writer and broadcaster with a lifelong interest in fantasy books and cinema. His fascination with J.R.R. Tolkien led to his critically acclaimed BBC radio dramatisation of The Lord of the Rings. He is the author of The Lord of the Rings Official Movie Guide and The Lord of the Rings: The Making of the Movie Trilogy. ISBN10: 0732279623.
