He had the following to say this week in a recent interview with <A HREF=http://www.cinescape.com>Cinescape</A>:
"What basically happens is [the films] become darker and they
emotionally go places, which is very interesting, Jackson said. As
Frodos journey with the Ring continues, the Ring starts to affect him
more. Theres an interesting dynamic that is going to happen in these
films where in the first movie, Frodo is the audience. Hes the Everyman
character. In the second film, THE TWO TOWERS, the Ring starts to
act on him in a much stronger way. By the third film, Frodo has such a
burden to carry and is starting to behave in such a strange way that I
think the empathy of the audience will switch to Sam, who is
accompanying Frodo on this journey. Frodo becomes so troubled by this
Ring that we are now going to be looking at this story through Sams
eyes by the time THE RETURN OF THE KING comes out, because we
can no longer really go there with Frodo because he has his own
tortuous journey that he takes on. It will be very interesting to see the
three films together because theres going to be this switch as each film
becomes more intense."
Granted this is no shock to anyone who has read the books (and if you haven't, go<A HREF=http://www.vstore.com/cgi-bin/pagegen/vstoremovies/filimhobbit/page.html?keywords=Lord+of+the+Rings&mode=search&file=/page/search/searchresultsv1.spl&catid=26307> HERE</A>) still it's interesting and reassuring to hear PJ's take on what he's trying to accomplish over the course of the trilogy. Even he seems a bit excited about where Lord of the Rings has yet to go.
