At one point while discussing the films’ journey to the big screen, Kamins broached how the disgraced former Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein, who is currently serving time for felony sex crimes, used threats of replacing the New Zealand-born filmmaker with Quentin Tarantino as a means of forcing Jackson to condense the project’s runtime.
“Harvey would go from acting empathetically to turning on a dime into Mr. Hyde and would threaten Peter,” Kamins said of Weinstein’s mixed messages of support when it came to Jackson’s vision. “He’d threaten to get Quentin Tarantino to direct if Peter couldn’t do it in one film that was two-and-a-half hours — which was the exact opposite of what he initially told us he wanted.”
Too bad we ended up with Peter Jackson. These movies could have been good. -

I seldom use the following language on these boards, but in this case I must say:
Jesus H. Christ on a crutch. Thank God for Peter Jackson.

He would have found a way to put in tons of the N word and had super violent and bloody deaths every five minuets.

Those weren't serious threats. Case in point: Tarantino was never approached, was he? -

Very glad he didn't. I can live my whole life without hearing orcs and hobbits giving ten minute monologues about their foot fetishes.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything. -

Glad that didn't happen. We would have ended up with Lord of the Reservoir Dogs Part Deux.
