Hobbit Movie in Four Years?

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the there-and-back-again dept.

Antarctic Lemur writes "At the Powerhouse Museum LOTR Exhibition in Sydney, Peter Jackson has said a film version of The Hobbit is three years away at least. Reasons for the delay include the sale of MGM, which part-owns the movie rights to The Hobbit, and Jackson's recently filed suit against New Line Cinema, the other part-owner. Jackson is currently filming King Kong at his new facility in Wellington, NZ. Slashdot readers will also be interested in the high security planned for King Kong's pre-release screenings."

    I wonder if Bilbo Baggins is using NeroLINUX since Nero has released this CD Burning app for Linux. If Bilbo is reading Slashdot, he probably doesn't know, but this story was submitted yesterday and still hasn't shown up yet here. But it has here:

    "NeroLinux - Nero CD Burning App comes to Linux"

    Maybe in a week this story will appear on /. after someone else submits the story because my submission here was probably rejected as usual. News for nerds indeed.

    I have a friend that I banter with. I'm a bit chubby and he is short.

    I call him the gnome, and I did so in front of his wife one day.

    She said that she didn't quite like that I called him a gnome.

    She thought it was more appropriate to call him a hobbit because he has hairy feet.

    Hehe...
