It is tempting. Tell people that the nearest stormtrooper could be me. I agree, the fans are fed up with the influx of old ideas made new in the land of Hollywood. Most of the films out today I grew up watching on TV when I still had a paper route. Part of the problem is if the studio heads ever got hold of a great script from a new writer with fresh ideas, they would be budget minded and not even take a chance on it. Hey, I got an idea, Peter could start a mentor program, maybe he can grab a coffee shop screen writer and check out some new range of ideas for public consumption because we really need brand new ideas before the major film studios ask for a congressional bail out.

I don't think that Jackson was necessarily separating himself from productions he would deem "unoriginal" or adaptations of old films or books; rather, it is his and other filmaker's realization that studios are unwilling to shovel 100-200 milllion on an unknown pet project. "Heavenly Creatures" was a great film but I wouldn't anticipate Fox or Paramount eager to bank upon a similar movie any time soon . . . Jackson stated that there were classics that deserve to be remade. He mentioned "Frankenstein" for example. And how often, and in how many ways has "Romeo and Juliet"
