According to Peter Jackson’s longtime manager, Ken Kamins, there is no truth to the tantalizing rumor circulating earlier today that Peter Jackson and his wife, Fran Walsh, were collaborating on a horror flick called The Christ Must Die, about time-traveling Nazi zombies preventing the birth of Christ. “It sounds like an April Fool’s joke,” said Kamins in an email to EW. “Peter and Fran are working diligently on The Hobbit for the foreseeable future.” The story originated when film sites got wind of a radio interview in which Stephen Fry, who is working on the Jackson-produced Dambusters, mentioned that Jackson and Walsh were hoping to use an abandoned set of Jerusalem in New Zealand for the film. Not surprisingly, fan sites have been buzzing over the story all day.

sounds like a better movie idea than the ongoing saga of j.r.r. tolkien books, which have bored me to death in both book and movie formats.
“Time-traveling Nazi zombies preventing the birth of Christ.”
Dear God…I Wanna see that! LOL Sounds awesome!

Wow. I know this is probably just a joke, but can make this not a joke? I mean, the idea of a new Peter Jackson movie gets me excited, the idea of a new zombie Peter Jackson movie gets me really excited, but a new Peter Jackson movie where Nazi zombies travel back in time to prevent the birth of Christ? That makes me wanna geekgasm.
Ha Ha, this is probably first original movie concept in a long time. I would watch this movie any day over another remake of a remake Hollywood is churning out these days
“the ongoing saga of j.r.r. tolkien books, which have bored me to death in both book and movie formats.”
Mario sounds like a loser from his comments. Obviously he has no good sense.
If this concept is is too far out for anyone, they could be German time traveling zombies. No wait, the Nazis are the clincher.
If he’s not going to after nazis, howabout invading aliens. Please, Peter, make a Pyramids of Mars movie – based on the online graphic novel (www.pyramidsofmars.com)
