Woohoo!
Hmmm... ~two~ movies? [sigh]
Does Peter know how to milk a story or doesn’t he? :-)

Then there’ll be both a theatrical and an extended DVD set. And we’ll buy them. :-)

Well, we don’t know that PJ isn’t directing yet. It just hasn’t be decided yet. That might be to do with PJ’s busy schedule with the major Tintin project with Spielberg coming up.

Plum pitiful, ain’t we? ;-)

I wonder what happened behind the scenes that enabled the feud to be smoothed over.
In any case, it's good news.

“The Hobbit” and “The Hobbit 2”

I wonder where they’ll split the storyline? Or maybe they’ll have some filler after Bilbo returns leading up to the LOTR timeline.
regardless, it’s a couple of years off, and the extended DVDs even further :-(

I wonder what happened behind the scenes that enabled the feud to be smoothed over. New Line is in serious financial trouble (too many expensive flops) and needs the guaranteed cash infusion "The Hobbit" will bring in.

But, skip forward about halfway in this Charlie Rose interview to see Viggo, with nods of agreement from Peter and Elijah, talk about the “War for Oil” and how the U.S. is the evil one:So they're not brilliant when it comes to foreign policy. I don't see any of them out there dissing the troops, or making big stinks about the War on Terror, so I'm not going to get my knickers in a twist about it.

Since there are so many different characters in “The Hobbit”, who the director is may not be as important. The producer makes sure all the pieces are in place, and having Peter do that will keep the same tone as the trilogy, and can be set up as a ‘prequel’

Peter Jackson admitted it would have been easy to infuse boht the Lord of the Rings and King Kong with political themes. He absolutley refused to do that because he flet it wasn’t a necessary par tof the story.
I don’t give a whit what his politics, so long as he keeps it to himslef and doesn’t use the medium of movies as a way to promote his personal political agenda.
The guy is extremely talented when it comes to making movies. And that is fine with me.
