Sir Peter Robert Jackson is a New Zealand screenwriter and film director best recognized for his 2001-2003 adaptations of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings trilogy. He wrote, produced, and directed the 2005 King Kong film. Inspired to become a filmmaker after seeing the 1933 King Kong at age 9,[3] he had been planning to create his own adaptation of the film since 1995, but was unable to begin production due in part to the box office failures of other monster films in the mid-to-late '90s. Around the time of his 2005 Kong, he and his team of frequent collaborators at Weta Workshop also began production on a recreation of a cut and allegedly lost pit scene from the 1933 film,[4] which was included as a bonus feature on Blu-ray releases of the 1933 film.
