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.

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

Very glad he didn't. I can live my whole life without hearing orcs and hobbits giving ten minute monologues about their foot fetishes.

I'm glad Jackson made The Lord of the Rings, but even [Tarantino] could've done a better job of The Hobbit, I'm sure.
I SINCERELY doubt that especially given Tarantino's latest trash.

Check my block list because you're probably on it.

At least it would have been interesting. LOTR is a huge snooze-fest.

Yeah, there's no way Tarantino would have had the slightest interest in doing those films and there's no way Jackson would have taken Weinstein seriously.

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

Anything would have been better than what we got.

Wow. I can really visualise what that would be like! Samuel Jackson would have made an awesome Frodo!
