A new candid interview withThe Hobbitdirector Peter Jackson and second unit director Andy Serkis can be found on the Blu-Ray ofThe Hobbit: The Battle Five Armies, and in it Jackson reveals thatfor much of the production of the films he was “just winging it”. The director was working 21 hour days due to the fact that they had lost a year and a half of preparation time and that scenes were being shot without being properly written to his satisfaction, without storyboards and basically without a plan. Despite that factThe Hobbittrilogy made nearly $3 billion dollars worldwide.

Zachs Mind writes: Was reviewing the episode with Kristian Harloff, Jon Schnepp and John Campea where you guys were reacting to the horrendous failure of the latestFantastic Fourmovie and the political turmoil betweenJosh Trankand the Fox executives. It occurs to me thatEdgar WrighthadAnt-Mantaken from him by Marvel/Disney under circumstances that, while not identical, share some similarities withJosh Trank’s departure fromFantastic Four. At the time when Wright was removed it looked like all hope was lost, butAnt-Manworked out despite his removal. Can you help me understand howAnt-Manturned out to be entertaining despite the removal of Wright, whereasFantastic Fourfell apart from a similar removal of Trank?
