The definitive history of Peter Jackson's Middle-earth saga,
Anything You Can Imagine takes us on a cinematic journey across all
six films, featuring brand-new interviews with Peter, his cast
& crew. From the early days of daring to dream it could be
done, through the highs and lows of making the films, to fan
adoration and, finally, Oscar glory. Lights A nine-year-old boy in
New Zealand's Pukerua Bay stays up late and is spellbound by a
sixty-year-old vision of a giant ape on an island full of
dinosaurs. This is true magic. And the boy knows that he wants to
be a magician. Camera Fast-forward twenty years and the boy has
begun to cast a spell over the film-going audience, conjuring
gore-splattered romps with bravura skill that will lead to Academy
recognition with an Oscar nomination for Heavenly Creatures. The
boy from Pukerua Bay with monsters reflected in his eyes has
arrived, and Hollywood comes calling. What would he like to do
next? 'How about a fantasy film, something like The Lord of the
Rings...?' Action The greatest work of fantasy in modern
literature, and the biggest, with rights ownership so complex it
will baffle a wizard. Vast. Complex. Unfilmable. One does not
simply walk into Mordor - unless you are Peter Jackson. Anything
You Can Imagine tells the full, dramatic story of how Jackson and
his trusty fellowship of Kiwi filmmakers dared take on a quest
every bit as daunting as Frodo's, and transformed JRR Tolkien's
epic tale of adventure into cinematic magic, and then did it again
with The Hobbit. Enriched with brand-new interviews with Jackson,
his fellow filmmakers and many of the films' stars, Ian Nathan's
mesmerising narrative whisks us to Middle-earth, to gaze over the
shoulder of the director as he creates the impossible, the
unforgettable, and proves that film-making really is 'anything you
can imagine'.
