YES!!!--NO HOBBIT FROM PETER JACKSON

we won't get a laborious piece of middle earth obviousness from a man who has clearly lost the ability to keep his appetites in check.

I thought he was keeping his appetites in check? He appeared to have lost a lot of weight over the filmming of KK, so I would assume he's keeping his appetite in check.

Yes, we have no more Hobbits.
We have no more Hobbits today.
We have Big Folks and Balrogs,
Dark Elves and Dragons,
And even some Gondor Men, we do.

But, yes, we have no more Hobbits,
We have no more Hobbits today.

Wow, John, that really dates you.

Of course, I guess somebody has to date you.

(Ba-dum-bum!)

Sorry you hated LOTR -)

"An MGM spokesman said that "the matter of Peter Jackson directing 'The Hobbit' films is far from closed." "

This alll sound like posturing. It's crunch time and they are all putting their cards on the table, a show of strength, to scare the other side and get the best deal possible.

Anyone have any ideas as to who would be a good -alternate- director for "The Hobbit"?

An alternate director? I'd have to say there is clearly only one choice and that would be Michael Bay.

Tim =)

Dr. Uwe Boll.

In my post earlier, there should have been a wink -) not -)


"Word from a reliable source indicates that Sam Raimi has been approached to direct THE HOBBIT:" He also directed/ing 'The Evil Dead', 'Evil Dead II', Spider-Man 1-3 Xena, Hercules and others

"They" just came out with another release of the rings films a few months ago on DVD -also while the lawsuit was in progress. So why the big fuss over two new movies now?

Maybe this is just a publicity stunt?
Or end-game negotiation tactics? There should be a happy announcement by Christmas!

Two Hobbit films with and Peter Jackson AND Sam Raimi?

It looks like New Line is talking to Peter Jackson.

Sam Raimi was rumored to direct "Clash of the Titans"
but could he direct a Jackson-produced film instead?.

Well, that's really no big news. And the second link I can't see unless I register with the site. Sorry, but I don't need another site to send me more junk mail.

Nevertheless, the first article tells me no more than we've already heard, and that would be a big maybe for the Hobbit. It all reads as more gossip than fact if you ask me.

If i am not mistaken, "Hobbit" rights shift from New Line Cinema to Producer Saul Zaentz if it doesn't get off the ground by the end of this year (I'm not quite sure about the deadline, but I'm sure about Saul Zaentz)
Saul said he would opt for P.J.
I dont know if Jackson himself doesn't want to do it. But i must say, i think he reached pinnacle with LOTR.
King Kong had great CGI (kong himself and the dinos), but that credit goes to WETTA digital and Andy "The gollum" Serkis. Overall i thought the movie was very boring, drugging and filled with unnecessary scenes. (All the Boat scenes come in mind)

He also shot a short film to test the "Red Camera" a while ago...people who've seen it say it's nothing special.

I dunno, i hate this Lucas-Spielberg hybrid.
