    'The Hobbit' - Yes! Yes! Yes!

    http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Guill...bbit-8620.html
    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Tru dat holmeslice, I mean all he's got to do is win an academy award for best film and best director. He can easily surpass that, right?

    New Line is just pissed at Jackson because he made them pay what they actually owed him.

    Nifty.

    Bloody nora, 4 feckin' years in a whole foreign country!

    Aye, Jackson was just getting what he was owed in the contract, if New Line didn't like it, they shouldn't have signed the deal - but they did, they didn't uphold their side, ergo they're in the wrong - even if Jackson had already made a mint, that's not the issue, you sign a contract in order to uphold it...NLC were being dicks.

    What is odd, is that you'll actually hear people sypmathising with the studios!

    lol, I know. The studios made a damn sight more money from the films collectively than Jackson did - even though Jackson made a mint - the point always was though that NLC didn't uphold their contract, which is a naughty-no-no.

    I'm kinda confused as to why that whole dispute dragged on so long, surely it's a clean cut case - they violated the contract, pay up New Line, end of.

    It's a shame for Jackson though, kinda puts a bitter side salad against the original trilogy having this silliness come afterwards.

    I should really watch all three LotR films all the way through sometime... To think Peter Jackson started with the likes of Bad Taste

    Just looking on imdb it appears The Hobbit 2 is already announced, I thought The Hobbit was just one story...

    it is. but unlike the rings tirlogy theres not a lot of chaff to cut off ,like tom bombadil, to cut down the time, pretty much every line has got to be included, its a pretty tightly constructed novel, and id recommend reading it before you see it, i read it when i was 7 and it still one of my favourites.

    Though the "stuck by lightning!!" bit was creepy then and creepier now.

    -and dag-nabbit jackson should have included tom bombadil, the ultimate scottish stoner

    "hey-ho merry go, hop along me hearties, hobbits ,ponys too, all ar efond of parties.."

    now that ya think about it, he was really a middle earth rapper with all them songs, maybe he got killed in a drive by arrowing?

    ...

    Count me in...

    I really must watch the LOTR trilogy through again, I've only seen each film like a couple of times each...I think 2 for the first, 3 for the second, and 3 for the third...something like that...but really must watch them through again some time...I've got the extended cuts on 4-disc DVD as well (3 Xmas' in a row, one for each year, noiiice), so it's about finding the time and to be in the right mood.

    As predicted:-

    "I had the most charming meeting with Sir Ian [McKellen], and all bureaucracy pending, he’s on board, as is Andy Serkis. We will continue giving you progress reports as they occur. It is our intention that we will not lose any of the key elements."
