It's Happening!

Filed under: Film Flickers

Peter Jackson and New Line Cinema have mended their strained relationship. The two were bitterly and publicly fighting over profits from the Lord of the Rings franchise.

On Tuesday, it was announced that Jackson would produce The Hobbit and its sequel, both prequels to the Rings mythology.

Principal photography is expected to begin in 2009 - with films being staggered for a release in 2010 and 2011.

The movies will be shot simultaneously.

Are ya faboys and gurls excited???

You think the faith based groups created problems for The Golden Compass, New Line didn't even have an idea how much trouble the fans would have brought to the table without Peter Jackson in charge of this production. Now is the time for New Line to admit they are a broken studio and Peter Jackson is their last chance to stay afloat.

Thats bad new, it really needed a fresh eye. Peter is a crappy director with a very famous author. It should have gone to Ridley Scott or one of the Potter directors.

Personally, I could give a shit. But once again, the fucking movie studios are a bunch of greedy whores. These movies made billions and the director, the guy everyone seems to agree was most responsible, felt shortchanged. Now, if that was the end of it, I would understand the studio telling him to fuck off. But when they have the option on a WHOLE OTHER trilogy worth another BILLION dollars, you pay the guy a few million to make him happy. Fucking idiots.

too bad on Earth there aren't different races. we only have humans. if there were hobbits and elves and faeires and dwarves and duergar and svirfneblin and drow and bugbears, etc. the world would be SUCH an interesting place!!!
