Jackson had to ask around for a bigger budget
It was Robert Shaye – the founder of New Line Cinema – who viewed Jackson’s video.
New Line Cinema soon asked Jackson to make three films, granting him a budget of $281,000,000.
And he succeeded (phew!)
Now imagine trying to condense the story as we know it into just one film – quite literally impossible! It’s a good job Peter Jackson was successful.
