Sir Peter Jackson’s testimony against disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein is to be split up into three parts, with each part taking just over three hours.

The bumper length is surprising as it’s believed Jackson’s testimony contains very little actual content.

‘This is just the way I like to do things,’ said Jackson.

Sir Peter Jackson is perhaps most famous for directing the ‘Lord of the Rings’ trilogy as well as ‘The Hobbit’ trilogy.

Jackson will be called to the witness stand in the case of Ashley Judd vs Harvey Weinstein. Judd has accused Weinstein of damaging her acting career by having her blackballed from his productions after she rebuffed his advances.

This is considered unusual behaviour by Weinstein as he usually preferred to whiteball actresses.
