    Jackson to produce 'Hobbit' films

    BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Jackson to produce Hobbit movies

    Sense restored at New Line, thankfully.

    Dunno if Jackson himself will end up directing it or not yet, but the odds must be pretty good..

    Excellent!

    I didn't know it was going to be shown as two films. Thats great news too. Six plus more hours of Middle Earth? Yes please!

    I do hope McKellen signs up to do it... couldn't imagine anybody else as Gandalf.

    I think if Jackson has any say in it, McKellen certainly will wear the robe again

    I certainly hope so! All in all great news for us LOTR geeks. It's a long way away though! I thought they had started filming this ages ago (or were at least meant to), I didn't know there was any dispute going on!

    Re: Jackson to produce 'Hobbit' films

    Allegedly the chances of him directing are pretty low - he's booked up on two more films (one of them Tin Tin, yaaaawn) so his time's limited - however it's good news they've finally settled and hopefully McKellen will reprise as Gandalf again (he's said he's keen to do so.)
