New Line And Jackson - Irreconcilable Differences
Petersko writes to mention a CNN article about an escalation between Peter Jackson and New Line that likely means we'll never see a Jackson-helmed "Hobbit" film. From the article: "In an interview with the Sci Fi Channel news service Sci Fi Wire, [New Line co-chairman Bob] Shaye said Jackson will never make another movie for the studio and said the filmmaker just wants more money. 'I don't care about Peter Jackson anymore,' Shaye said. 'He wants to have another $100 million or $50 million, whatever he's suing us for. He doesn't want to sit down and talk about it. He thinks that we owe him something after we've paid him over a quarter of a billion dollars. ... Cheers, Peter.'"
Jackson wants to show New Line that the fans won't tolerate anyone else doing the Hobbit and this is just to get us riled up so we make a big to do about it online. Once we do this, Jackson can go to New Line and say "look, you can'd do this without me, now pay up."
Why don't they just give him whatever he wants. It's not like they are going to lose money on another of those films.
Just stay in Moms basement and keep quiet.
God was my co-pilot, but then we crashed and I was forced to eat him.
I hate what he did to the LotR, so I'm glad he's not going to fuck up the Hobbit as well.
weRe taken over all servers. Coming and committees
Fuck Peter Jackson. Fuck him with a rake! That stupid fucker completely RAPED a great story and turned it into mindless fx-driven crap. I will punch him in the face three times if I ever meet him, and I don't feel like adding a fourth.
