Line 37:
== Film ==
* Many ''[[The Lord of the Rings]]'' fans were convinced that no movie studio could do the books justice. However, New Line Cinema took a chance on [[Peter Jackson]]'s unorthodox and expensive approach to making the movies and actually stunned everybody with three good movies.
** Originally, Peter Jackson tried to sell the project as two movies. When he shopped it to New Line, they said, "Why do you want to do this as two movies?" He got ready to lay out his arguments for why you couldn't possibly do justice to LotR in one movie, which had been the request of a previous studio; then they said, "This should be three movies."
* ''[[Jaws (film)|Jaws]]'' was so stressful to make back in 1974, that most of the cast were ready to quit on director [[Steven Spielberg]]. However, legend has it has Richard Dreyfuss among others believed in him, as did Universal executive Richard Zanuck. They were handsomely rewarded for their faith.
