question How Did Peter Jackson Get To Direct Lord Of The Rings Trilogy?

[Nellore Pedda reddy]

he didn't have any major BO success prior to LOTR....how did he get studios' nod for a $300 million budget :o

[gargicau]

The budget was hardly $100mil for the first movie.

 

and its based on a popular book. It was a sure shot money churner whoever directed it.

 

Peter Jackson just put his soul into it.

He spent 7 years with story improvising and looking for producer. He Even shot few Scenes without producers to show them as teasers and invite producers

Considered to be one of the biggest and most ambitious film projects ever undertaken, with an overall budget of $281 million (some sources say $310 million-$330 million),^[3] the entire project took eight years, with the filming for all three films done simultaneously and entirely in New Zealand

wiki says that he directed a movie called "The Frighteners", which was a reasonably high budget movie in those days.

No man this project was on his mind from 1994. Interview lo cheppadu how he struggled to get producers

[gargicau]

It looks like he was like a rising star in the movies, like Nolan was, before he got picked for Batman.

several founders with failed startups, come up with winners 2nd, 3rd time around. :P

[gargicau]

lets see the year he started developing the movie .. 97-98? The start of the great bubble, for web startups. people were throwing money with gay abandon.

 

may be he had a great pr, who convinced some money to come his way.

 

the better question to ask is, Did Lord of rings save the US from a depression? :P
