Sir Peter Jackson: Harvey Weinstein made me blacklist stars

Weinstein and Jackson crossed paths in the late 1990s when Jackson was pitching his early plans for The Hobbit and Lord of the Rings films to the Weinstein-led studio Miramax.
Jackson said he expressed interest in casting Judd and Sorvino, both of whom have publicly claimed Weinstein sexual harassed them.
„I recall Miramax telling us they were a nightmare to work with and we should avoid them at all costs. This was probably in 1998,“ Jackson said.
