Peter Jackson Says "Hobbit" Movie In The Works

Posted by timothy on from the that's-what-bilbo-baggins-hates dept.

Patik writes "'Lord of the Rings' Director Peter Jackson is planning to film 'The Hobbit,' according to this Associated Press article. Jackson, who is currently filming 'King Kong', is waiting for New Line and MGM, the two studios with rights to the film, to battle it out for rights to make the prequel. Jackson also mentions wanting the movie to feel just like the LOTR trilogy, including having Ian McKellen return as Gandalf." (This is better than just hinting.)

    I have no worries about The Hobbit. I'm psyched.

    Psyched for the fat git to...

    1. leave out most of the beginning
    2. add in a twee love story
    3. mess around with the characters
    4. mess around with the plot
    5. leave out the ending

    Piss off and fall off a cliff Peter Jackson you fucking great wanker.
