ENTERTAINMENT NEWS … SIR PETER JACKSON

The New Year's Honours list for New Zealand announces Peter Jackson is getting a knighthood. He received the award for "services to film", not to mention the massive boost to the country's tourism that Lord Of The Rings has provided in the years since the trilogy's release and the huge filmmaking business he's built in New Zealand. Thanks to New Zealand’s status as a member of the commonwealth, his honour will be fully recognised by the Queen. No idea when or even if he'll be stopping by the palace to pick up his honour - will he have time between producing The Hobbit and working on the thousand other projects he has developing?
