Peter Jackson
This is a new category I made that recognizes all the greats in this world.
Peter Robert Jackson, one of the greatest people in Hollywood today. He is a three-time Academy Award winning director,producer,and writer from New Zealand. He is best known for his Lord of the Rings trilogy and the remake of King Kong.Jackson first gained attention with his horror comedies.
Born on October 31,1961 in Pukerua Bay, a town near Wellington New Zealand. As a child Jackson was a keen film fan.After leaving school Jackson began working as a photoengraver at a newspaper company in Wellington, where he met some of the people who would work with him on his first feature film.
Over four years (from 1983 to 1987) the horror comedy Bad Taste grew in haphazard fashion into a 90-minute feature, with many of Jackson’s friends acting and working on it for free. Shooting was normally done in the weekends since Jackson was now working full-time.Bad Taste, is about aliens that come to earth with the desire of turning humans into food.With that movie made, it launched his career and made him the man he is today.
Jackson had always liked the King Kong and Lord of the Rings books. It was one of his dreams to make his
own.In fact, King Kong was one of his favorite films, at the age of nine he attempted to make his own version of it using stop-motion models.As a teenager, Jackson discovered the works of author J.R.R. Tolkien.The Lord of the Rings. He instantly fell in love with the books.

he is pretty cool…but not as good as George Lucas
he’s way cooler than George Lucas!
Link doesn’t work.
GL is the best!
I like George Lucas. But I like Peter Jackson better.
A Shrine is definetley special.
Personally I think Stanly Kubrick is the best but since we are talking about GL and PJ then I have to say Peter Jackson rules. Also I have a replica lightsaber that lights up and makes noises. So I am special.
