[ShiniGorky187]

i gotta see the hobbit at all costs

[ajhrockerboy6]

JACKSON IS A BADASS.

[cassieluvlol]

go the new zealanders YEA (imma new zealander) :D

[SangoKikOme]

its definitely a new zealand accent!!!! like its right there! but cuz im frm Oz maybe im used to recongiseing their accents.

[cinderblock84]

i'd heard he lost weight but this is the first time i've seen it. he looks good! but COMPLETELY different.

[Sbrff]

O_O fuck me, he has changed since the LOTR movies! =)

[JasonBourne535]

My God! He looks so different while he is thin! More genius, more handsome and younger! I can't believe that he is Peter Jackson! Cool!

[DubstepSector]

Lovely Bones is powerful

[LordEizen]

The Hobbit talks start at around 6:05

[TheEznore]

oh she'll do it for you whats going on over there at the shoot peter? POLICE!!!!!!

[TheEznore]

hahahahahahahaha try making my book into anything but depressing lololol!

[Shikamaru392]

The release date for the hobbit is December 14, 2012 and the world is supposed to end December 21, 2012. This will be the last movie i ever see and i'll die happy because of that

[lelo819]

NO WAY THATS PETER. 

[irishgem92]

I can't believe that's Peter Jackson! He's lost so much weight!

[Jammed9000]

Hmmm. the two strangest english accents in the world: Irish and Kiwi.

[kingsomark]

I think hes better for directing the upcoming World of Warcraft movie.

[khadijahbernal17]

cant wait for d movie "the hobbit''!!!!!!!!! :D

btw Lord of the Ring was the BESTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!! x)

[foolsbetrippin]

shes been around the block a few times i am sure

[Charrie1994]

Hahaa, Ive never seen him like this, its a bit uuuh weird

[PoisonLil]

he's new zealander!!!!!!-___-

[robbie666999]

that's peter jackson?????

[HDpAnIC]

@robbie666999 yup....he was really fat years ago...

[HDpAnIC]

@robbie666999 and actually he is called "Sir Peter Jackson" since 2002

[evertonjf08]

@robbie666999 Yeah?

[knutsensen]

I prefer the fat one.

[DeVizardofOZ]

Actually he's from New Zealand (Sir Peter Jackson KNZM), and looks better and healthier now. Before he resembled a fat frog... ha-ha. Very gifted director, very thorough, with the ability to see the big picture before its actually on film. Looking forward to see the next 2 movies.

[dididoum]

OH MY GOSH What have you done of Peter Jackson? haha.... I was like "that link says "Peter Jackson talks" but i don't see him...

[smargaret11]

I can't even deal with how amazing he looks! YOU GO, JACKSON!

[DishwasherZero]

In case most of u dont know he's been "thin" since he directed the king kong movie.( just after the return of the king)

[communistjesus]

@DishwasherZero he's been "thin" since he directed the king kong movie.( just after the return of the king) <<< THANK YOU UNPAID BIOGRAPHY MAN...

[bobolishas]

he's not the same all skinny

[Filmzie]

The dude won an oscar and then shed weight. The boy is just impressive as sin.

[smargaret11]

OH. MY. GOD. HE LOOKS STUNNING!

[sshers1]

peter jackson will make halo! and it thrash MW2!

[Blackhoundrise]

HAS HE LOST WEIGHT

[Hoestmoerke]

Sorry, but English isn't my mother tongue... what kind of accent does the interviewer have?

[wolfrain63]

@Hoestmoerke Irish

[Procrastiskater]

@Hoestmoerke It sounds a little Irish, but im not sure

[makeWatcher]

@Hoestmoerke Irish obviously

[kylie3451]

@Hoestmoerke He sounds Irish. Peter Jackson is from New Zealand, of course.

[bobolishas]

@Hoestmoerke irish

[hellabeast34]

@Hoestmoerke irish accent i think

[HerrKnitler]

@Hoestmoerke

Sounds like an irish accent to me but english isn't my mother tongue either

[matenizer]

@HerrKnitler It's Australian.

[DLilburn07]

the fat pete seemed jollier

[Thesortvokter]

Peter Jackson is the ultimate.

Lord of the Rings could NEVER have been created like it was by anyone else.

Thank god he's gonna do the Hobbit too, it can't fail!

[00Helllo]

god peter jackson looks so thin and unrecognisable apart from his voice which is EXACTLY the same!!!

[XxKiokoxX]

o.o Sorry- I had no idea Peter Jackson was skinny now.

[Bandora5]

i love pete

[soukupb]

Damn Peter Jackson's gotten thin!!!!!!!

[daconor91]

that is NOT peter jackson

[invadersue]

What? This is Peter? Omg, I would'nt recognize him, he looks a bit sick ... I love tho see the l Hobbit movie next year!

[Larissadup]

Peter Jackson would make an awesome hobbit!

[exitcheese]

its funny but i think he looked better when he was big or maybe i just got used to him looking that way.

[1xoxshelbsxox]

look how nice peter looks. i know he was nice and jolly looking when he was heavy, but i prefer the healthy peter. yay for being healthy! lol

[MrTomte09]

Where's the other half of Peter??

[charlietomb585]

has peter jackson ever made a bad movie?

[HeavenXxX]

Peter Jackson hate fat people.....

[Maximillionaire666]

I personally thought the Lovely Bones to be an overrated film but that's my opinion.

Lord of the Rings on the other hand....AWESOME AS F**K!!!!!

[TheBenhameeno]

Great Interview/Interviewer

[MrNatha91]

he doesn't only look much thiner he looks twenty years younger!!!

[arabiansanchez]

I don't like this whole nostalgic sentiment of people "missing the old Peter." He was a very overweight, unhealthy man. We should be applauding his efforts in getting fit, not wishing him to an early grave.

[BoydTheMilkmanX]

Holy fuck. He lost a LOT of weight since I last saw him.

[Lefnuid]

although he looks like totally different now, i think his health is better than before

[MissMarientose]

I do miss chubby Jackson, but I can't sit here and I say I want him to be fat again. It's his life; he's healthier now, and if he's happier this way, then just leave him be!

[Pattonfrodo]

Congrats Pete on slimming down..him and Drew are like new men

[Michaelmop]

Why the hell are peeps prefering him being fat?... U want him to die earlier so he can make less master works??..

[PathOfTheLeftHand]

Fatten him!

[shadowvowed187]

so ARE they going to make a new Hobbit movie????

[95Godfather]

@shadowvowed187

yes, he confirmed it

[SoNJAyKo14]

i miss the fat and hippie peter jackson ¬¬

[650sFinnest]

lol she's been around the block I wonder what he means by that?

[Biohazard931]

Slim Jackson looks evil XD 

[RyanPerson]

Why do you all keep talking about his weight who cares about his size? Having less fat isn't going to make his movies any shittier. And he's not even that skinny you all are talking like he's anorexic

[Lee2436]

this was a realy realy great movie well put together

[ambabusa]

isnt peter jackson fat?

[OLitteMissSunshineO]

the thinner he gets, the older he looks..... where's the sweet and fat peter jackson??? :(

[MultiSweetHearts]

damn he is so cool

[jimbobanalbeats]

Never trust a skinny fat man.

[flexan4o]

OMG Does this man have a freaking cancer? What the hell happened to him?

[Karza00]

WHAAAAAAT.... he is not fat anymore????? he is skinner than me now

[chemistolga]

what?? is he peter jackson? where is his fat? :P

[lynchy4664]

"or whatever it is in the uk" *thinks to self* oh shit im in ireland not the uk

[Jessegrr420]

He wins the luckiest guy in the world award. He pled his case well lol

[MrComanche29]

wtf he rich and got skinny lol g1 peter money sucks fat I would do the same

[27thorongil]

No glasses or girth. Hope he still direct the shit out of a film!

[magic203]

que le paso al gordo de peter' alguien sabe donde dejo la grasa y las lonjas?

[Woutorius]

omg, he's turning into a wraith!

[FutureAbe]

OH MY.. GOD, he's THIN O___O

[ditroiamusic]

He looks sooo different. Good for him! Can't wait to see The Hobbit!

[TheReyesmma]

Is it just me or did the interviewer say Peter Jackson was still working on Halo?

[Tom6093]

Looks like Peter Got alot of exercise in New Zealand. He stopped have breakfast, breakfast 2, brunch, lunch , Tea time, supper and dinner as Merry asked Strider in The Fellowship.

[noahmennie]

I thought he was fat! Well he looks much better now, but i still prefer him fat

[GHOSTGAMER001]

Peter Jackson is incredible!

[directorlog]

Can everyone shut up about his weight, its not healthy to be fat.

[KarmaStudiosx]

he looks like a totally different person! =(

[dtek40k]

Dear Peter Jackson, Please direct the Hobbit. Thank you.

[genekoenen]

he looks a bit like domonic monoghan

[anthonycotillo]

peter jackson looks like Lars von trier´s twin

[directorlog]

Peter is a very talented film-maker, cant wait for whats next.

[OhTheMetal]

THAT'S PETER JACKSON!?!? WHAT THE FUCK?!?!

[mrRonin501]

What the hell happened to him!? He looks like he is sick or something. I'm worried.

[Atreyfabian]

people said, the hobbit not comes to the cinema and so on. It was in the newspaper, but i don't believe. Nice vid.

[docrichy]

cant WAIT for the HOBBIT films... im sure all of the LOTR fans cant wait. Hope Peter Jackson directs, and hope the project gets underway soon... fingers crossed.

[BathoryHordes]

He's really lost weight. Good on ya Pete!

[lovemhymusic]

WHaaaat!

He's gone down like 200 kilos! O.O

[GreenxMoon]

...the interviewer is trying to speak fast and stammering so much >>

[Rs1Recording]

Omg, thats peter jackson, Weight Loss Much?

[twanbosman11]

where are his glaces and his power belly o_0

[Golddoesnotglitter]

while peter jackson is now healthy which is very good, i prefer him fat :) or at the very least his glasses and shorts, he just doesn't look like Pete any more.

btw the interviewer talks too much

[Rockhorns76]

Whoa! Can't believe how much weight he lost!

[Ipulloutlate]

HOLY SHIT HE LOST WEIGHT!!!!! OMG!!!!

[killacam902]

FAT PETER WE MISS YOU!!!!!

[guitarist828]

Iv met him

[wlucianna]

The film's director, Peter Jackson, The Lovely Bones. Widen our perception, to look at the feeling of the soul, the heart. Refers to family origin, the essential, "love and hate." Same as sick, and the same as cure. This movie, 'and this one, thanks.

Lucianna.

[030terror]

OMG Hey lost weight i liked him more when hey was chubby

[oTheMvPClano]

omg has he lost alot of weight!?

[AJo95dreas]

damn l like the fatter pete

[Meo999999999]

this is Peter Jackson? I can believe!!! Is so different! I prefer the fat one!

[AlcatrazPirate]

ok you dummies, can't you realize that it is actually quite painful to be fat. Having exessive weight on your bones and your arteries, causes numerous medical problems. As you grow older it gets worst. Peter looks perfectly healthy here and I am glad for that.

[tdk2592]

His abilities have made him... well, arrogant.

[pcfag555]

he lost a lot of weight..  =o

[pureaggression]

the lovely bones was so dumb

[Greed76]

Damn peter.

[PrInCeSsFBi45]

WHOA double take needed! Looking good Pete

[OropherThranduil]

jackson might direct the hobbit after del toros sudden departure.

[TheLotrconquest]

he dont look fat anymore=p

[pabienpeur]

PJ !!! lookin' good !!

[TheSlipknotdude69]

wow hes lost alot of weight

[youratwitface]

his collar annoys me

[TinyArts]

Even if you folks liked him more as a big chubby guy this is much better for hes health. He will probably have a longer life now and that means more movies for us and a happier life for him.

[DixieKorley]

Daaaang this dude lost weight!

[tscotty32]

Dear PJ.. your die hard fans CAN NOT WAIT for your Hobbit tale. But you need to gain some weight.. your looking as if your ill maybe.. dont make us worry about you..lol

[IronsteffL]

He just looks so serious now. I think it was an awesome contrast, seeing that Kiwi running around in his shorts with his crazy hair, his glasses and his round, funny face, making awesome movies - now he still is this great director, but he looks like if he is about to yell at you! xD

But if you don't look, its still Peter Jackson. ;)

[NickRiviera10]

C'mon I know this Slim Jackson seems like I don't know....showed off? But He is this silm since King Kong after 20 mil he won, of course, without counting what he wins in WETA, but he is my inspiration, so GO JACKSON GO! PS: I loved the Lovely Bones, the only film he has done I didn't like too much was King Kong other than that he is great!

[MicroHelper]

@NickRiviera10 Haha! WhaT?!?! King Kong was Awesomeeee (:::

[NickRiviera10]

But what are you talking about, he is this thin since he directed King Kong. He is my inspiration, true he looks a little bit like...show off? But ANYWAY GO PETE!

[rrrorkk]

how do you go from being mega fat to super skinny , was he sick ?

[airasweetie]

@rrrorkk well when you make as much money as he does, you can hire a personal trainer and someone who tells you exacly what to eat to loose as much weight as possible in a healthy way. and he´s at a normal weight now, and the body wants to be at an ok weight so if you train regularly and eat healthy the weight will go off quite quickly.

[assilane]

@rrrorkk He lost a lot of pound when he did LOTR, it was a really hard work and he must have been tired etc those things that could make u lose weight without even notice at first, and I think after that he keeps on losing.

He's not the only one, I remember Jon Favreau on Iron Man lost a lot of pound too. But I don't think he was sick or something ^^ !

[mramirez1974]

@rrrorkk Not only that, but his GIANT glasses are gone. Lasik?

[chesney121]

@rrrorkk

Stomach ulcer.

[81Mace81]

@rrrorkk lol, ummm he's hardly super skinny is he!

[LechnefJeik27]

He's not a bad actor himself. I remember him in Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King~ Ha-Ha! He was one of the Corsairs who got shot by Legolas.

Aragorn: "Legolas, fire a shot past the bowson's ear."

Gimli: "Mind Your Aim. That's right! Prepared to be boarded!"

[sam71293]

in a way it almost looks like he morphed with Alan Lee and John Howe... I liked chubby peter better but he's still an AMAZING director :)

[elizabeth1977]

well said pete

[020ray]

wow is that peter jakson :s ..u sure its the same guy..lol

[wazzadec16]

he looks like a different person now compare to the lord of the rings been so fat!

[shaun3701]

how the hell did this guy lose so much weight... he looks like a different person.

[PaoFriedman]

wow i never thought he will lose weight

He looks really different

[bowsmastery]

oh my dear lord.....that isnt peter jackson :O :O :O

[Yesy8472]

omg wow he lost sooo much weight

[okamiamaterasu1993]

i liked the old peter more but the new "style" makes him look more than a director you know :) at least he kept his gestures which i really like:D so i think he is more or less the same peter.

[catyasmin]

He know exactly what he is talking about. In LOTR interviews he was so in depth. He is so connected to the story.

[agarratumachete]

He lost a lot of weight. He's looking healthy

[sarahhorse]

god, he has lost so much weight/1 i prefer fat peter, he was cute, and he reminded me of a hobbit, he looks weird here, he lost too much

[afuckingbadass]

he have really changed.

he got no guts anymore.

he seems like a dickhead now, wish he was the fat old jackson i remember.

really sad about the hobbit,

the lord of the rings trilogy was the best movies i ever seen.

[cha5]

I'm really looking forward to The Hobbit as for Lovely Bones though...

well sorry Peter; but for me Heavenly Creatures was a far better film than LB.

[bobandcarlshow]

is it just me or at 7:22 pete looks pissed that guillermo del toro is directing The Hobbit movies

[NickRiviera10]

@bobandcarlshow I don't think so, because If he were he wouldn't ask for him to make it.

[o0SplittingHairs0o]

why cant he be good old jolly fat peter. He was better

[Kravennn]

Eat a burger man.

[johnnyinjapan]

"Meet the Feebles" was one of Jackson's first movies and it was like a bad taste muppet show. All done with puppets and most of the puppets either having sex with each other or eating each other. So I guess that might be why it was banned. Funny as shit though.

[thatsmyrail]

Wth happend to his gut.

[emxLOL]

i liked him better when he was fatter, he looked more interesting ..

[susan22]

did peter jackson not used to be a big fat bearded guy in beach shorts?

[franklystrange]

Yeah he did. Beach shorts, raggy beard, beanie hat and a poofy coat. But he went on a yogurt diet I think lol. I prefer old Pete better.

[deidara19973]

@franklystrange same here!

[outrider52]

@franklystrange He's the same person.

[monkey8692]

lol I know that's what I thought when I saw him in this video

[ben10150]

yea at first i was like who is this guy!

[fartsam08]

i prefer the fat peter jackson

[Shrykull15]

wow he looks way different now wtf lol

[sandufilms]

I wished he had asked him about "Meet the Feebles". It was banned in Ireland when it first came out and 20 years later it's still banned. It's ridiculous!

To get Peter Jackson on video saying it should be unbanned would be huge, or at the very least, funny.

Dunno if there's a huge push for it though. We kind of have other problems at the moment like Catholic child abuse, trouble with banks and the economy, devolution in the North, switching to Green Energy etc. Not a priority at the moment

[StarDance87]

Whats "Meet the Feebles" ? and why was it banned?

[ambereyes93]

If being overweight wasn't dangerous, I'd gave told him to keep the paunch T_T He looked cuddlier....

[jayskia]

really good interview, short but asked some good questions.

[uphillracer]

i wish ryan would be in the movie..

[lordoftheringsfan100]

If it wasnt for the voice i wouldnt recognise him from lord of the rings

[Model1337Akimbo]

same, i watched the dvd extras recently and he's lost so much weight and looks so different in the face. i guess it has been like 9 years but still..

[akenny01]

him & stephen spielberg are my hero's i'd love to meet them one day =[

[mattblackproductions]

same.

[Ricardoloslambos]

look hoe skinny that mofo is now...Must be eatting those herbal bangerz by the truck load
