What should Peter Jackson do next?

[RoJoHen]

After he is finished with his 18-movie Hobbit series, what would you like to see Peter Jackson do next? Let's assume that he is going to be re-making an older movie or adapting another work of literature to the big screen. What book/movie/comic/whatever do you think would most benefit from his style of film-making?

Personally, I would absolutely love it if he attempted to re-make "The Neverending Story." It's one of my favorite childhood movies, but it's also a story that I think has a lot of potential to be redone, especially with modern technology.

The Spectre.

Just look at The Frighteners. He's already halfway there.

 

[JD]

Ooo, I like that idea.

Is he still going to be doing a second Tintin movie?

Is he still going to be doing a second Tintin movie?

Spielberg said a few months ago that Jackson will shoot the Tintin sequel next after he's done with The Hobbit. Jackson is still developing the Temeraire series, too, for either movies or television.

The Dragonriders of P.E.R.N. series by Anne McCaffrey.

Dude, it has DRAGONS and the most interesting dragon/human "bonding" rituals.

 

[The Mirrorball Man]

He could turn the book into eleven movies, which would, in a way, explain the title.

I read years ago that Peter Jackson is fascinated by World War I, and after watching Warhorse last week on DVD I would love to see PJ put together a really epic WWI movie. Warhorse was interesting, but not the epic it could have been.

 

[Mr Light]

Tintin 2 and Tintin 3, please!

I read the first three Temeraire books, and was not impressed.

 

[Starbreaker]

I think Peter could do an amazing adaptation of Dune, although I have trouble believing that anyone could ever top Ian McNeice as the Baron.

 

[Gaith]

Didn't he buy the rights to some Patrick O'Brian-with-dragons series a while back? That sounded promising.

So I guess this Hobbit 3 means at least a year's delay for Tintin...

 

[Out Of My Vulcan Mind]

Didn't he buy the rights to some Patrick O'Brian-with-dragons series a while back? That sounded promising.

That's the aforementioned Temeraire series.

 

[DWF]

How about all 14 Oz books, that should keep him busy for the next decade and a half.

 

[Starbreaker]

Nobody is going to want to touch Oz ever again if Oz: The Great and Powerful is as bad as the trailer suggests.

 

[Sketcher]

A short film. Seems like it'd be a good challenge

 

[Set Harth]

He should do a Halo film.

I wonder if anyone ever thought of that.

 

[Out Of My Vulcan Mind]

He should do a Halo film.

I wonder if anyone ever thought of that.

He was going to produce a Halo movie with Neill Blomkamp directing at one point, but it fell through.

 

[Mike Farley]

Surely there's some random paragraph or sentence fragment that he can expand into a new post-LoTR Middle Earth trilogy?

Surely there's some random paragraph or sentence fragment that he can expand into a new post-LoTR Middle Earth trilogy?

He could always do a sequel trilogy based on Tolkien's unfinished (and abandoned) The New Shadow, set about 100 years after LOTR.

 

[Quinton O'Connor]

Peter Jackson's Babylon 5, with one million fully-rendered Shadow vessels in one of the climactic battles and John Rhys-Davies as Michael Garibaldi.

 

[Skellington]

Doesn't he own one of Sylvester McCoy's costumes from that popular sci-fi show he used to be in?

Peter Jackson's Doctor Who. You know you want it.
