When the director presented the brothers Weinstein and their studio Miramax on the "Lord of the Rings" and "Hobbit", they immediately showed him a list of actresses, with whom in no case should it work.
"I remember that there were the world of Torvino and Edshley Judd. I was told that it was impossible to work with them and I should avoid them at any cost. It was 1998, "says Peter Jackson. Recall that both girls talked about sexual harassment by Harvey Weinstein and, apparently, therefore fell into disfavor of the studio. But then Jackson had no idea what was actually happening, and without any problems believed the list of brothers.
Only now, having learned the real story, he remembered this terrible moment. Ashley Judd, who became one of the first women opposed the producer, has already confirmed that such a story really happened in the 90s.
The words of Jackson confirmed another director, Terry Zwigoff, who was shot in 2003 in 2003 with a Billy Santa Billy Billumn Tornton. The director said that he wanted to invite peace to his film to his film - but every time he offered this idea to Weinsteinam, they simply stopped talking.
