The Hobbit movie will happen!
Hobbit movie without Peter Jackson
According to the BBC website, New Line will go ahead with bringing 'The Hobbit' to the big screen. But without Peter Jackson at the helm, since he's still in dispute with New Line on the cash earned on the LoTR movies. Still, it would be awefully nice if they'd be able to get sir Ian McKellen do return as Gandalf. Allow me a short fangirl scream: Hobbit Movie! Wheeeeeeee!

Wow...this could be interesting. I really hope that WETA and Co. gets in on this, although that ain't likely, since they're really involved closely with PJ. But they did a stellar job on LOTR.

What I couldn't figure out was, why PJ didn't just do the Hobbit while he was at it in the first place? While he had the people, the place, etc......I mean doesn't The Hobbit go hand in hand with the Trilogy? PJ did a beautiful job, visually excellent. But, I would love to see The Hobbit done by PJ.

Good Lord look at that pic of PJ talk about lost weight. Doesn't even look like him.
So How about Andrew Adamson to direct hobbit? Make a good fake headline doncha think?

I think that this will quite possibly be better than LotR simply because it's a shorter book so they won't cut have to cut much out (hopefully!)

Hobbit without Jackson; sounds hopeful.
But does anyone else wonder what this prequel they are talking about is? Quote:

Don't know what they are referring to as a 2nd prequel to LOTR. Did anyone else hear that The Hobbit is being planned as 2 movies? Could that be what is meant?

Since the second quote mentions "the Hobbit and the prequel", I doubt it.

I'm just crossing my fingers and hoping its a film adaptation of Christopher's latest work. That's the only light I can see on the horizon.

Some of the seperate stories could work well eg. 'Beren and Luthein' and 'Turin Turambar'.
We can only hope that whoever does it doesn't strech the movie out too long, otherwise, it could get boring.

Beren and Luthien cannot work on the screen. No matter how beautiful the actress you find, she will not be Luthien. Turin would have some scenes I can't imagine being brought to the screen well, especially the bits with Hurin and Morgoth, where the children are first cursed. And you really couldn't skip that part...

Exactly, too much, so they cut out and you are left with no story. Just eye candy.
