I just wish there were more adventures of Middle Earth to be explored

Supposedly Peter Jackson will be making The Hobbit.

Peter Jackson has no interest in making The Hobbit. The LOTR is a work of a lifetime. When you spend close to 10 years on something like it, that's it. Counting all the hours in post-production, it feels more like 20. Its a staggering achievement in cinematic history for I can't think of a director who produced and directed three movies at the same time let alone a cast who devoted a part of their lives to bringing it off. Jackson thought someone else would film it, but when no else stepped forward, he decided to do it himself. Its said Tolkien's novel is "unfilmable" and in Jackson's hands, he brings the author's world to life in a way Tolkien never dreamed of, although I suspect he would have approved.

Really?? Now that would be pretty cool.

I think it's interesting that he would make the Hobbit AFTER the LOTR...
