Peter Jackson has already done more work than most in the past 25 years. The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies would take a lot out of anyone, granted, so you can forgive the director for reining it in slightly in the decade-or-so since The Battle of the Five Armies hit our screens.
That being said, Jackson is keen to mention he's still very much active – and is currently working on multiple screenplays.
"I’m certainly not retired," Jackson confirmed during an interview with Screen Rant. "We are currently working on three different screenplays. I’m at the moment writing three different scripts."
On his future plans, Jackson said, “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 documentaries, whether they show I’ve grown old or not, and obviously the [The Beatles: Get Back] project. I’ve enjoyed doing various things with The Beatles, which is great, and that’ll probably carry on."
"To me, de-extincting the Moa would be just as exciting, if not more exciting, than any film I could possibly make," Jackson gushed. "I’ve made a lot of movies, but to see the Giant Moa brought back would be a level of excitement that I think would supersede anything at this point in time."
Jackson previously teased to Deadline, "We really want to explore his backstory and delve into those parts of his journey we didn’t have time to cover in the earlier films. It’s too soon to know who will cross his path, but suffice to say we will take our lead from Professor Tolkien."
