Abstract "This new textbook within the Contemporary Film Directors in America series provides a comprehensive exploration of the multifaceted career of renowned film director Peter Jackson, whose cinematic journey from New Zealand to Hollywood has left an indelible mark on American cinema. Written in an accessible yet scholarly way, the book provides an overview of Jackson's roles as a producer, director, writer, actor, and creator of special effects company Weta Digital. The author organizes the chapters chronologically, offering in-depth analyses of Jackson's early New Zealand films to his arrival in Hollywood, outlining the intricacies of filmmaking, addressing issues of marketing, financing, adaptation, genre, and the ontology of cinema. This text also covers Jackson's transformative adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy, exploring its impact on contemporary movie-making and marketing practices, as well as its emphasis on the New Zealand landscape for tourism. This volume promises to be the standard scholarly work on Peter Jackson, offering readers a nuanced understanding of his impact on the global cinematic landscape"-- Provided by publisher.
