Peter Jackson. Who does not know that name after the larger than life success of Tolkien's Lord of The Ring Series brought to life on the big screen. But we have not heard of Jackson for quite some time. There are the rumors about him producing Halo with Neill on the director seat, but that, as you guys know it, have been just another history. This year we heard from him again and in two great looking movies.
One is based on Alice Sebold's popular novel, The Lovely Bones whereby we see Jackson on the director's chair. From the early looks, The Lovely Bones look pretty solid. Great actors, nice panoramic shots and awesome score, is indeed worth a try. However I haven't receive any news or updates regarding this movie, and the hype-meter is not all that high. But don't be surprised, this movie might be this year's shocker.
Another project with Jackson's name plastered on it is the highly acclaimed District 9. Long before the release of its official trailer, people was already talking about it. Started from a short film by Neill Blomkamp, the concept seemed to caught Jackson's interest. and he agreed to produce a full length movie with Neill as the director and himself on the producer seat. From all the positive reviews and praises this movie received, I'm guessing that District 9 will be one of 2009 favorites.
Since stirring the world with his three short clips about Halo entitled landfall, Neill's works have piqued much interest from people. And he should, in my opinion. District 9 is not merely your average alien movie or otherwise rotten tomatoes won't give it a 100 percent and labeled it as 'fresh'.
Be sure to catch two of Jackson's works this year.
