Most fans of TheLordoftheRings can’t imagine any other director but Peter Jackson at the helm, but Harvey Weinstein threatened to replace him
“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.
The Oscar-winning epic fantasy adventure ultimately spanned three installments, with its first two films,The Return of the KingIn addition to issues with the runtime, early conversations around the franchise included a plan for just two — not three — films, according to both Kamins and New Line Cinema producer Mark Ordesky.
“It was actually [New Line founder] Bob [Shaye’s] idea to do three films instead of two. The original pitch was to do two films and Bob goes, ‘There’s three books, why are you only making two films?'” Ordesky said. “He said, ‘Tolkien did your job for you. He wrote three books so you have three movies,’ and I’m kicking Peter under the table not believing what I’m hearing,” Kamins added. “They said yes on Monday and were out of pocket $12 [million] by Wednesday.”podcast, star Wood corroborated elements of both Kamins and Ordesky’s oral history recollections about the number of films and the project’s journey from one studio to another.
“I think the lore is that they were coming with two and it was Bob Shaye who said, ‘We have to do three,’ which is insane,” Wood said. “An incredible risk. Miramax thought there was no chance in hell.”
