It would have to be really good for me to be able to overlook that.

He did a fantastic job on the filming, casting, artwork and all that, but I wish somebody with more respect for the integrity of the story had done the screenplay. It's also hard for me to get too excited about The Hobbit. It's an entertaining children's story, but it doesn't compare to the trilogy, IMO.

At least in salary. Back-end profits are what the lawsuit's about. I found the letter's description of the lawsuit interesting.

If I didn't know better (not that I do) I'd say someone just doesn't want to have to pay Peter Jackson. hmm.
