Peter Jackson Names 'The Two Towers' as His Favorite Lord of the Rings Film

The director revealed his preference in a recent interview, while also reflecting on his reluctance to rewatch his own films.

Peter Jackson shared in an interview that 'The Two Towers' is his favorite installment of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, though he noted his choice might change upon rewatching the films.
Jackson admitted he has not revisited the trilogy since its release, stating he finds it difficult to watch his own work but hopes to revisit it in the future.
The director's preference contrasts with the widespread acclaim for 'The Return of the King,' which won 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture.
Jackson is currently involved in producing a new Lord of the Rings project, tentatively titled 'The Hunt for Gollum,' with Andy Serkis directing and reprising his role as Gollum.
The announcement of 'The Hunt for Gollum' follows the underwhelming box office performance of the 2024 anime film 'The War of the Rohirrim,' which Jackson executive produced.
