Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh (The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies) are making the feature Mortal Engines, based on the award-winning book series of the same name from British author Philip Reeve.
This is the first time that Walsh, Boyens and Jackson have written a project that Jackson has not directed.
They have co-written the screenplay with collaborator Philippa Boyens (The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies).
Ken Kamins – Jackson, Walsh and Boyens’ longtime manager – brought the project to MRC.
