The Hobbit Returns

Peter Jackson to direct The Hobbit after all?

A few days ago, it was reported by Jackson himself that he had a falling out with New Line and he would not return as director of the Lord of the Rings prequel. Yet, there is still hope out there. And, since his Halo movie has gone back into developmental hell, I wouldn’t mind him going around for another try at the Series.

((Zaentz has told The Sun newspaper the rights to The Hobbit fall back to his company next year and when that happens, Jackson will be back on the project.
Jackson and New Line are embroiled in legal action, with Jackson alleging the company owes him money for his work on The Fellowship of the Ring.
))

For a while, I liked New Line and the way they gave Jackson creative control, but they’re acting like asses at the moment with all this legal stuff. Pay the man his money.

I still believe this is all up in the air.
