The thing I’m most scared about is the fact that they took the only one of the 4 Ring books…the only one (in my very much minority opinion) that isn’t tediously detailed and caught up in boring minutia about things that don’t exist and who the things that don’t exist’s great great great great grandfather was…

…and is turning it into THREE movies.

Where’s the fun? Maybe you should watch the video, because it’s clear you didn’t.

For me, the most wonderful realization while watching this is how the creative vision of a filmmaker can employ so many folks.

Completely. We can have a joke and still deliver an amazing product. It’s freaking New Zealand! This little shit hole makes some amazing stuff, and we do it because we really love it. Those animators, artists and everyone have a job and are under so much pressure, but they can have a laugh – meanwhile in Hollywood some fat cat is rolling in money demanding a sequence to be finished in a few hours to send to a render farm.

If you are a New Zealander then you really shouldn’t be. If you think this – /this/ – out of all things, makes you proud, I have no idea what does.

Oh, right. John Key.

I wonder how much of the film is “Peter Jackson” when so many others are working on it. It was exhausting to watch – where’s the fun? It’s an expensive mega project for a corporate pipeline that will generate millions in merchandising alone – even billions. Nothing wrong with that, except that it’s boring. I’m their worst nightmare – I like any kind of film except the Fantasy genre – this kind of film holds no interest for me. Star Wars – yes. Harry Potter – yawn. I wish Mr. Jackson much success. In my case, I’m most happy with a small film crew and a great script. At least I’ll know everyone I’m working with.

Not if the “Behind the Scenes” look on the Blu Ray is self-masturbatory, which seems to be the case most of the time.

Who is the person putting all the organization together, planning and then controlling this giant filmmaking army?

I love these videos. Every time they make me realize that I will never be able to do anything that comes close to such gigantic productions.

Always a huge fan of the BTS for the original trilogy and think it’s awesome that they are releasing these as production goes along.

Great stuff!

I think Peter Jackson did a fabulous job with these behind the scene video’s. Remember he started with this on the LOTR DVD’s. (close to 3 hours of behind the scenes on each DVD, special edition that is). This turns all of us into film (making) fans (the public included)). Great marketing.
