Peter Jackson Will Not Be Making The Hobbit

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the a-sad-day dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Due to legal wranglings with New Line Cinema over accounting issues for Lord Of The Rings, Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh will not be involved in the making of either The Hobbit or the planned Lord of the Rings prequel." I suppose there is still a chance that Jackson & Co. could end up involved, but at this point that looks unlikely.

    But in any case, it's our opinion, you have yours, and there's no need to use uncivilized language.

    The problem is people who dislike the movie tend to present their opinion as widely accepted fact, and bring the "uncivilized language" upon themselves.

    I could really care less. I have never liked PJ as a filmmaker or as a person. He is George Lucas on steroids. The last movie that supposedly was worth a Best Picture Oscar was nothing more than just a lot of quick cuts between massive CGI battle/crowd scenes.
