On July 17, 2026, Peter Jackson and Richard Taylor revisited 'The Frighteners', a film celebrating 30 years since its release. This movie, which marked the first time Jackson wrote and directed for Hollywood, was instrumental in the birth of Weta and was cited as breaking ground in the digital effects world, directly leading to Jackson helming the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit films. Previously, on July 9, Wētā FX earned an Emmy Award nomination for its work on the fifth and final season of Netflix’s *Stranger Things*, with senior visual effects supervisor Martin Hill and visual effects producer Richard Thwaites nominated for Outstanding Special Visual Effects in a Season or a Movie.
