THR:
The director is recovering after undergoing surgery for a perforated ulcer in New Zealand.
Filming on The Hobbit has been pushed back a bit after director Peter Jackson was admitted to a New Zealand hospital with acute stomach pains.
Jackson went to to Wellington Hospital on Wednesday night and underwent surgery for a perforated ulcer, according to a statement from the production. He is said to be resting comfortably, and doctors expect him to make a full recovery.
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
Wow, I hope he's okay. I know filming always takes it out of him. I mean, look at all the weight he lost when he was worried about making King Kong. He gets real immersed in his work, and I worry that one day a film might actually kill him. Let's hope he gets to feeling better soon!
I blame Sauron.
Hope he's okay but don't care for crying Hobbits for an hour's worth of a film.
Not to be sticklers, but isn't this old news? When you click through to the story it says posted Jan 26th!
Just don't want everyone thinking Jackson is sick AGAIN, or start one of those internet urban rumours!
I'm sorry guys....I was reading another story about him and the Hobbits when the icon took me to this one and I didn't notice the date but CPO is right....this is an old story....my bad!
