In Response To: Re: Peter Jackson talks Halo Movie (Sparkamus)


: Personally, I think Peter Jackson is part of the reason the movie isn't being
: made.
: As a producer he has a penchant for making movies that are incredibly
: expensive. He also has a penchant for going over budget. In Kong, he went
: between 30 and 70 million over budget. Being his own pet project, Jackson
: offered to pay the extra costs himself.

: Yet, Halo isn't a life long obsession of Peter Jackson like King Kong was. I
: highly doubt he'd pay for the movie if it went over budget. I can totally
: understand why a studio wouldn't want Peter Jackson producing one of their
: films.

However, Peter Jackson is one for quality also, he believes that if you make a movie, you best do it right the first time. I can respect him for that, however, most major studios what to spend the least amount of movie and get the biggest payback. Unfortunately, it doesn't work that way with films that at really worth watching.
