Peter Jackson helmed one of the greatest fantasy adaptations of all time, as well as The Hobbit trilogy. Now he’s shepherding another genre entry to the big screen: Philip Reeve’s steampunk saga Mortal Engines. Though the Lord of the Rings trio of Jackson, Fran Walsh, and Philippa Boyens will co-write the script, directing duties will go to VFX whiz Christian Rivers.
