From KCRW, I'm Kim Masters, and this is the business.

I mean, people have been restoring films, obviously, for years,

but I couldn't think of a time or an example where someone had taken a hundred-year-old footage

and put all the computer firepower that we have today to a single purpose of trying to make this footage look brand new.

Peter Jackson created new worlds for his Lord of the Rings and Hobbit Trilogies.

His latest project, They Shall Not Grow Old,

is a documentary that magically brings to life 100-year-old footage

shot on the front lines of World War I.

It was no easy feat, but forget jerky black and white images.

Jackson and his team added sound and color to footage that now seems as if it was shot

just yesterday with modern cameras. Jackson tells us about hiring forensic lip readers to interpret

conversations captured on silent film so actors could perform the lines.

And how the techniques used in They Shall Not Grow Old could be used on other old films,

including some of his own.

But first on the news banter, so much TV.

Stay tuned, it's the business from KCRW.

I am joined by my partner in banter, Matt Bellany of the Hollywood Reporter.

Hello, Matt.

Hi there.

So, FX does its annual report on the state of television, and unsurprisingly, but very strikingly,

there are more originals than ever, scripted

originals I'm talking about, where peak TV continues to surge.
