Original 'Lord of the Rings' script was leaked in order to get Harvey Weinstein off the project: report
Fox News
New details have emerged about Peter Jackson and Harvey Weinstein’s alleged feud while making “The Lord of the Rings” movies.
In an essay penned by Drew McWeeny for Polygon, he alleges that power struggles between Jackson and Weinstein led to the original script for the series, which at the time was only two movies, being leaked to him in an effort to get another studio interested in the project in a way that Weinstein and his company, Miramax, were not. McWeeny describes Weinstein as someone who didn’t understand the fantasy genre, especially Tolkein. In fact, he characterizes the former movie mogul as someone who only obtained the rights to the books to appease Jackson so that he could utilize his directing talents on future projects. As a result, he reportedly kept the fact that he was only willing to spend $75 million on the franchise in total a secret from Jackson.
