Allegedly it was all an April Fools thing. There's no way I'm going to watch The Hobbit unless PJ makes it!

It was an April Fools thing, now it's a letter writing campaign. Check out www.theonering.net for details.

There's currently a big legal dispute which is going to take years to sort out. One studio owns the rights to make the film (think it's New Line) but another has the rights to distribute it (think that's MGM).

I think PJ himself said that he'd love to make the Hobbit, and by the time he finished with King Kong, he hopes the lawyers will have settled all the legal stuff.

Yeah, I doubt I'd go see The Hobbit if PJ doesn't makes it. It just wouldn't fit well with LOTR if it was a different director.

I'd go and see it no matter what or who because, dude, it's the Hobbit!

Well. Maybe not if it was Bakshi.

Trust, if it's Bakshi you woudn't want to see it. I have the Bakshi version of the first two books (FOTR and TTT) on DVD. Its the worst movie I have ever seen! (And I only made it to about half way before I just had to turn it off and watch Fellowship of the Rings exetended version. Smile )

I would be greatly disappointed if P.J. didn't direct The Hobbit. I would still go to see it no matter who directed it, but I would rather have P.J. "finish it off." I hope it doesn't take too long for all the legal stuff to get sorted out... It would be very sad if the movie was called off all because of a legal dispute.

I hope that all goes good after PJ's movie so we can see the Hobbit rolling!

There was much rejoicing (and no little amount of speculation) in our pavilion, when the rumors started about The Hobbit coming to the big screen! And CaveTroll (aka Mr. Dread Lady Freya) being CaveTroll, started his own little grass roots campaign to have Sean Connery cast as Thorin. He's joined up with a wonderful artist who is helping him bring his "message to the masses." Wink **Warning: shameless plug ahead** Here's the link (I hope I do this right) to the site http://members.cox.net/bobjordan1/. Check it out, I think you'll agree it's a really good sketch. Hippy
