 The Hobbit Update
What about The Hobbit, Tolkien's own precursor to "The Lord of the Rings"? New Line has production rights although the situation is complicated by MGM/UA's distribution ownership. "There's a reasonable possibility that we can negotiate an arrangement," New Line co-chairman Bob Shaye says. The studio also has the rights to create its own original prequel or sequel to "The Lord of the Rings," but would pursue the projects only if Jackson would be involved again.

GREAT IDEA!!
I think that this would be a great idea to bring Hobbit to screen. It would give everyone an in dept look at the Hobbit. The book has enough info in there to mak a great movie.

Um.........not to doubt your source or anything but............
The Tolkein estate (his children) still own the rights to the book.......and have not sold them, nor will they ever. They did not even want the LOTR movies to be made..........they however could not prevent the LoTR movies because J.R.R. himself sold the movie rights to the books back in 1968.
Before any studio can make a movie based on the book "The Hobbit" they must first procure the rights to the book............which is impossible as Tolkien's family refuse to sell the rights.
Sure.......New Line can make it's own sequel or prequel to LoTR, they own the rights to that story............if New Line's prequel resembles "The Hobbit" in any way shape or form (name/story) however they will get the pants sued off of them.
