Is Peter Jackson?

Question

Hey does anyone know if Peter Jackson or anyone else is going to make the hobbit??? I really wish he would!!

Any ifo at all on that or opinions??

Answer 1

This from Wikipedia:

"Much speculation has occurred as to whether Jackson might direct a film of The Hobbit, the prequel to The Lord of the Rings. His comments to date seem to indicate that he is interested, if the studios can work out the rights. Late in 2004 it appeared unlikely, as MGM (the studio which holds the rights to The Hobbit) was sold to Sony in the race with Warner Bros. In December of 2004, Jackson said that production on The Hobbit could be as much as four years away[2], which would place a likely release date in 2010."

Answer 2

Right now Miramax, who originally had the rights to the Middle-Earth literature, holds the right to the Hobbit. While it was New Line Cinema who eventually adapted the books to screen because Miramax pushed for only 2 120 Minute Movies and allowed Jackson to shop around.

If Miramax were to produce the Hobbit it would be without Jackson, Weta, and the rest of the gang. Not to mention significantly different actors from the Lord of the Rings.

I very much doubt that we will see a Hobbit movie, and in some ways it might be a better thing. The Hobbit is much different than the Lord of the Rings and I do not think that it would be as adaptable and therefore profitable. I'd very much rather no Hobbit than a Hobbit that is under-funded and poorly produced.

Answer 3

I don't think he is but he was supposed to make it. Choronicles of Narnia too but I guess he isn't or he probably would've already finished.

Answer 4

I've heard RUMORS that he was planning on it. But I haven't seen anything confirming that yet. It would be pretty cool, though!

Answer 5

I think he will be busy with Halo for a while.
