PETER JACKSON IS SO TIRED, HE ASKS BRYAN SINGER & FRANK DARABONT TO PINCH HIT
http://www.bluetights.net/video_medium.php?id=7 (*Video Link*)
GOTTA SEE THIS. Bryan Singer gets a call from Peter Jackson. Seems Jackson is exhausted and is falling asleep in the director's chair. So he asks Singer to drop what he's doing (a little film called Superman) and pinch hit while he takes a nap?
UPDATE: Here's Peter's side of the story (which isn't different at all) from his Production Video Blog.
My favorite part is where he says to Bryan on the phone - if you're on 16 hours days, what are you doing for the other 8 hours?
In the end, Jackson declares that he's going to finish the picture like a man - on his own. And then promptly falls asleep again! So the crew brings in Frank Darabont to close out the last shot.
Amazing.
