I wasn't expecting much but i thought the guy was cool - i'll check it out.

I'm only in 100 pages or so and i have to say already - it's one of the best - if not the best - book i've read about the business of film. (and we havent even gotten into the Lord of the Rings stuff yet.

interesting guy .. someone who's actually learned and matured along the way.
He's al;ways struck me as someone who has his shit together. He apparently took the Samwise roll epretty seriously, to the point that he kept an eye on Eliga Wood the whole time they were filming.

Amazing, too for a guy who's parents were both celebrities themselves.
