The Hobbit is copyrighted to MGM, right? And Newline wouldn't be able to get it because Sony bought MGM?
Once I get some people's answer, I'll explain why I found it to be interesting when I was surfing through MGM's website.
Your wonderinf elf,

Yeah...
Dom said on Kimmel that Pete's all tied up with getting the rights from MGM, among others.
If Pete doesn't direct The Hobbit, and someone along the way decides to make it, I'm not going.
Because I'm picky.

My understanding there is a lawsuit pending between the guy that managed the group CCR back in the 70's who owns the rights to "The Hobbit" and MGM. The last I heard on it was that MGM was trying to work out getting the rights from that guy and then letting New Line have the production rights and MGM maintain disturbiation(sp) of the video and over seas marketing. Jackson said as soon as New Line gets their stuff straighted out then he is all for making the movie.
I think I did a thread on this way back, but it could have been another site also. I believe it's named Hobbit the movie or something like that if you want to look for it. |

What I found that was interesting to me was that The Hobbit isn't even in MGM's database of movies that you can search in. I was like this:
