Peter Jackson Interview about Heavenly Creatures 1994

An Interview with Peter Jackson about his film "Heavenly Creatures" from 3rd November 1994 by Bobbie Wygant.

[@AWlpsSHOW36]

As a kiwi I'm so proud of his success! He's putting little New Zealand on the map in cinema and that is just awesome!

[@JennyJeong425]

I'm Australian and I live in California. I'd planned to go home in 2020, and visit NZ for the first time. Of course I couldn't go due to Covid, but I'm finally going in June. I can't wait to be back home and to visit New Zealand as well! 🇦🇺 🇳🇿

[@rhonataylor85]

I’m British and I love NZ❤!

[@raquelcarvalho1583]

New Zealand is only the hell and Peter Jackson is the real Lucifer on Earth.😡

[@organicketchup5171]

What a remarkable career Jackson has has. 3 bad ass exploitation movies, the beautiful ‘Heavenly Creatures’, the very fun ‘The Frighteners’ then…well, no introduction necessary 🙂

[@mazeitor]

exactly, braindead !!

[@hermozart9546]

Amazing film especially in cinematography and story. Although it is tragic the unhappy ending is based on a true story.

[@Telstar62a]

He mentions the Leopold and Loeb case in the US from the 1920s a couple times; there was a film version done, sort of like Heavenly Creatures, called "Compulsion" that featured Orson Welles as the Clarence Darrow lawyer figure. He gives a lengthy speech at the end of the trial, knowing that the boys were guilty, but basically pleading for their lives, pleading against capital punishment. It's a stunning performance.

Amazing interview and a beautiful film

Lovely Country that banned some of your movies like Dead Alive....a master piece of gore in my book

[@1112-g1x]

interesting tht Juliet was giving privy treatment ie no parole , the trheme of the canterbury class system was was illustrated well in this film.

[@michaelcarvalhosilva1565]

Tento perdoar o Peter Jackson, mas isso vem sendo muito difícil. Quando eu penso em toda a dor, o sofrimento, a revolta e a tristeza que esse homem me causou depois que eu me apaixonei por ele, fico mais infeliz ainda.

???? Please expand on this.

[@MichaelCarvalhoSilva]

​@@Doctordoompapitohe is the worst person who ever existed in this world. This is very sad and hard to admmit, but unfortunatelly is the true.

[@Doctordoompapito]

@@MichaelCarvalhoSilva excuse me. What in the world are you trying to say? I'm completely oblivious to your accusation. What's the matter with Sir Peter Jackson? What did he do?

[@MichaelCarvalhoSilva]

@@Doctordoompapito because he's just exactly as my ex-teacher Jorge Luíz who was a horrible person and who had absolutely everything in common with the own Peter Jackson aswell. That is the point.

[@MichaelCarvalhoSilva]

​@@Doctordoompapito Peter Jackson also destroyed untentionatelly Harvey Weinstein using himself to made success in Hollywood and also betraying himself using his own sexual crimes for ruined himself forever. Peter Jackson is also a junkie and a horrible sexual criminal as the own Harvey Weinstein and because all of this he's the worst and the most evil person who unfortunatelly ever existed in this entire world. This is terrible, but unfortunatelly it's the true.

A morte do Peter Jackson é só uma questão de tempo pois ele já está bastante velho e doente agora. Vamos ficar livres desse embuste pra sempre se Deus quiser.

I had a strongest and insane sexual and platonic crush on Peter Jackson in the last thee years until a discovered he's just a completely jerk.

[@redcrabdue1787]

Lol

[@Ampex196]

Thank you for sharing. I recall showing Heavenly Creatures on first release in the UK. I thought is was remarkable and was certainly a box office success at Tyneside Cinema. I'd not seen Kate Winslet before but her considerable talent was immediately obvious. Her future was assured. From a technical point of view, I can't think of any other Director who uses the Super 35 process as well as Peter Jackson. The 2.35 anamorphic realease prints of 'Creatures' looked absolutely stunning as indeed did the 'Rings' trilogy much later. I recall James Cameron's Titanic looked poor by comparison despite using the same process.

[@hermozart9546]

OH, yes, this is the same director of The Lord of the Rings. Great director for time pieces.

[@gabrielionut7333]

Great filmmaker !

[@jayjay1184]

Great interview, thanks for sharing!

[@mross2740]

Dude seems like he'd be a big director one day. I wonder if he makes anything of himself.

Thank you so much for the upload.

fascinating! Probably wouldnt of given this interview 10 years later after his massive LOTR success! Nice time capsule piece!

"5 years in jail, and released at the age of 20 was a fair and reasonable sentence" -Peter Jackson For premeditated murder. yup sounds fair.

[@fredsta696]

I think he was suggesting that was a good result for the girls, over going into a 1950's NZ mental hospital. Right? No suggestion that 5 years wasn't long enough.

[@suzannestack6765]

@@fredsta696 i agree that that was his thought. and a good result vs having a lobotomy.

[@michaelcarvalhosilva1565]

No começo eu tinha uma expectativa enorme em relação ao Peter Jackson achando que ele era mesmo tudo o que eu esperava que ele realmente fosse, mas depois quando eu vi que ele infelizmente não é nada do que eu esperava, toda a paixão e a admiração que eu sentia por ele antes se transformaram em frustração e ressentimento.
