Peter Jackson is New Zealands most famous filmmaker. He was born 31 October 1961 in Pukerua Bay in Wellington. When Peter was a small boy he started to dream about doing movies after he saw the film King Kong. He got an super 8-camera from his parents and started to do fantasymovies.

When Peter was 20 years old he and his friends started to make their first long movie, Bad Taste was it’s name.  In 1994 he did the Oscar nominided movie “Black Angels”. But the movie he's probably most famous for is the “Lord of the rings” that he did year 2001, 2002 and 2003, it was a triologhy. Those movies were a huge success.

He then did a new version of King Kong. That movie is about a huge monkey that gets  to now a woman and becomes best friends with her. The movie is a really loving and sad movie, but you’ll have to see it buy yourself.  Peter has also been involved with the newest movie of Tintin, where he produced it with ex. Steven Spielberg.

In the years 2012, 2013 and 2014 he is producing the movies “Hobbit”. This film is filmed in New Zealand and is played out “60 years before the Lord of the rings”. The hobbit Bilbo Bagger is on a journey with the wizard Gandalf and 13 dwarfs. Their goal is to take back their stolen treasure that is being watched by a dragon, Smaug. Sadly I haven’t seen the movie myself but I think that I will do that now, because it seems to be a really fun movie with an amazing nature.
