Peter Jackson is credited with bringing both The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies to the screen. Prior to helming these iconic films, Jackson established himself in the horror genre, notably with projects like “The Frighteners.” This 1996 film is now in the process of being adapted into a TV series by Charlize Theron’s Denver and Delilah Productions. The series, based on “The Frighteners,” is currently in development, focusing on accentuating the horror elements from the original rather than incorporating humor.
“The Frighteners” marked Jackson’s entry into the genre with a major studio, a shift from his earlier indie film projects. The film received acclaim for its impressive special effects, a factor that played a role in Jackson being entrusted with bringing The Lord of the Rings to the cinematic realm.
Are you looking forward to the upcoming adaptation of “The Frighteners”?
