Hollywood filmmaker Peter Jackson of 'The Lord of the Rings' fame has revealed that there was once a time when he considered hypnosis in an attempt to forget the hit movie franchise. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jackson during a podcast of the outlet revealed that he "seriously considered" using hypnosis to try and forget all his work on his Oscar-winning films, and for a good reason.

He wanted to watch them like a regular fan and enjoy a single unspoiled viewing experience. "When we did the 'Lord of the Rings' movies, I always felt I was the unlucky person who never got to see [them] as a coming-out-of-the-blue film. By the time they were screening, I was immersed in it for five or six years," Jackson said.
