Hollywood Smackdown: Jackson Fires Back at Shaye -- Nicely
Filed under: New Line », Celebrities and Controversy », Box Office », Politics »
Somebody must have spiked the eggnog out in Hollywood over the holidays -- less than two weeks into the New Year, and all that "peace on Earth, good will toward men" crap's been tossed out like so many shreds of gift wrap.Yesterday we told you about New Line's Robert Shaye getting his tail feathers in a bunch over Peter Jackson (hey, what's a lawsuit and a few million bucks between friends, right?), declaring that New Line will never (EVER) work with Jackson again as long as Shaye is manning the helm. Shaye wasn't pulling any punches, either, going straight for the personal-attack jugular in calling Jackson an array of unflattering descriptors.
Peter Jackson Blacklisted By New Line?

Remember back in November, when Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson told TheOneRing.Net that he and producing partner Fran Walsh were pulling out of New Line's plans to make The Hobbit, and that he wouldn't discuss it further until a lawsuit he had against New Line for its accounting practices around the Ring series were settled? Now New Line chief exec Robert Shaye, in a classic Hollywood pissing contest, boldly asserts that New Line will not work with Jackson again, ever-ever-ever. So there. In a story on Sci-Fi Wire giving the low-down on the squabble, Shaye is quoted as saying, "He got a quarter of a billion dollars paid to him so far, justifiably, according to contract, completely right, and this guy, who already has received a quarter of a billion dollars, turns around without wanting to have a discussion with us and sues us and refuses to discuss it unless we just give in to his plan. I don't want to work with that guy anymore. Why would I? So the answer is he will never make any movie with New Line Cinema again while I'm still working for the company."
