Miramax was the first studio to express an interest in Sir Peter Jackson's interpretation of the books, but wanted to do it all in one movie. Jackson refused, leaving him with four weeks to find another studio for funding. Thinking that no studio would agree to three movies, Jackson was prepared to settle, and touted the project as two movies. Even then, most studios didn't want to take the risk. Calling upon his friend Mark Ordesky, who was an executive at New Line Cinema, a pitch was set up with New Line Cinema President Robert Shaye. Shaye's only quibble with the presentation was that it should really be three movies.
