ПиДжей комментирует продажу LucasFilm Диснею в интервью Reuters A Minute With: Director Peter Jackson on shooting The Hobbit | Reuters

Q: George Lucas sold Lucasfilm to Disney for $4 billion. Do you think you will sell your New Zealand facility Weta someday?

A: "I would if I want to retire at some stage and want to have a nice easy life, which will hopefully happen one day. But in the foreseeable future, the fact that I'm an owner of my own digital effects facility is a fantastic advantage for me."

Q: How so?

A: "When we asked the studio if we could shoot ‘The Hobbit' at 48 fps, we promised the budget would be the same. But it actually does have a cost implication because you've got to render twice as many frames and the rendering takes more time. The fact that we owned Weta and could absorb that in-house was actually part of the reason we were able to do the 48 frames."

Так что просто представьте, как мы будем обсуждать экранизацию Сильмариллиона средствами всё той же Weta, но уже под руководством другого режиссёра. Будут те же крики: не загуби Средиземье! эльфы уже не те! ПиДжей снимал лучше! Вы просто представьте...
