This unauthorised biography by NZ film journalist Ian Pryor traces the journey of Peter Jackson from a young movie fanatic in Pukerua Bay — Sunday afternoons fooling around with a camera — through low-budget cult movies to control of the most ambitious film project to emerge from the southern hemisphere. Covers the making of Bad Taste, Meet the Feebles, Braindead, Heavenly Creatures, Forgotten Silver, The Frighteners, and the complete Lord of the Rings trilogy. Includes interviews and behind-the-scenes material on how Jackson secured rights and funding for three films simultaneously. A NZ-perspective companion to the authorised Sibley biography.
