"This festival has always celebrated bold, visionary cinema, and I'm incredibly grateful to the Festival de Cannes for being recognized among the filmmakers and the artists whose work continues to inspire me."
"We are producing and have been writing The Hunt for Gollum, which Andy Serkis is going to direct next year. I've enjoyed working on docs, whether they show I've grown old or not, and obviously the Get Back Beatles project."
"The prestigious award recognises Jackson's body of work that blends Hollywood blockbusters and films d'auteur with extraordinary artistic vision and technological audacity."
Peter Jackson has been awarded an honorary Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, recognizing his distinguished career blending Hollywood blockbusters with auteur cinema through extraordinary artistic vision and technological innovation. Jackson, renowned for directing the Lord of the Rings trilogy, expressed gratitude for the honor, reflecting on his long history with the festival dating back to 1988 when he premiered Bad Taste and 2002 when he previewed The Fellowship of the Ring. Since completing The Hobbit trilogy in 2014, Jackson has worked on documentaries including They Shall Not Grow Old and The Beatles: Get Back. He is currently developing multiple feature film scripts, including The Hunt for Gollum directed by Andy Serkis and a new Lord of the Rings adaptation.
