\"\"Remember a couple of weeks ago when we reported on The OneRing.net’s rumor<\/a> that Peter Jackson was trying to decide between working on Amazon’s\u00a0Lord of the Rings\u00a0<\/strong>TV series or a film in the DC Extended Universe? Apparently Jackson went with option # 3, the “I was never in discussions with either” option.<\/p>\n

The bad news came from an interview with French outlet Allocine<\/a> where Jackson was promoting his forthcoming\u00a0Mortal Engines\u00a0<\/strong>film. Regarding the\u00a0Lord of the Rings\u00a0<\/strong>show, he said this:<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not involved at all in the \u2018Lord of the Rings\u2019 series. I understand how my name could come up, but there is nothing happening with me on this project.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And comic book fans, brace yourself, because this might break your heart. This is what he said when shooting down the DCEU rumor:<\/p>\n

That\u2019s not true. I had no discussions about that. I\u2019m not a fan of comics, I\u2019ve never read any, so I\u2019m not particularly interested in adapting one for cinema. That\u2019s not true at all. I\u2019m not involved in any DC film or \u2018Lord of The Rings\u2019 series but I\u2019m ok with it, I have plenty other projects that keep me busy.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Knowing he doesn’t like comics would have hurt so much more if he didn’t sound so darn polite saying it.<\/p>\n

So, there you go. Adjust your hopes and dreams accordingly, and we will make note that TheOneRing.net is not to be trusted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

For Peter Jackson, the choice between the LOTR and the DCEU wasn’t a choice at all. <\/div>\n
