i vividly remember the first time i watch this movie . the lead up to the finding of the old film be without any obvious clue and so it wasn not til the richard pearse footage that we become seriously suspicious . my husband be a forensic photographer so the digital imaging to get the date off the newspaper be a dead giveaway to u . the eleventy seven dozen egg be another big pointer . from then on we treat the whole thing a a lark and just revel in the imagination that be peter jackson trade mark . we be of course and greatly impressed with the enormity of the project and could only surmise that the actor in the salome movie be also con into think they be film a real movie and do not know the truth until the wouldoco come out . either that or peter jackson have a loyal entourage that keep a secret which could never have survive in any hollywood arena . i look forward to even more of peter work .
