Hobbit Movie Confirmed!!!!!!!!

Hey Middle Earth Fans guess what??? Peter Jackson is making the hobbit movie!!!!!!!!!!!
yes, oh yes, we're finaly going to see the hobbit on screen in all it's golden-rivercity-dragonfighting-dwarven-glory!

Peter Jackson announced yesterday at an official press conference held in London, that he will direct 'The Hobbit'. While before Jackson only had a vague interest in doing the film, his desire is much stronger this time around: "With all the support from the fans and the studio, there's no reason not to make it" -Said Jackson Thursday in London. Jackson would not comment on the casting of the film, as it is just to early to tell at this point. Although he did hint that he would like to bring back some of the "old crew".

'The Hobbit' is a book by J.R.R. Tolkien, that tells of the events BEFORE the 'Lord of the Rings' story takes place. Following the journey of BILBO Baggins in his quest with Gandalf and a troupe of dwarves to reclaim a lost mountain, guarded by a dragon.
The studio (New Line) has decided to back Jackson up all the way in the making of this movie. Including providing him with a 250 MILLION dollar budget! He's going to need it. The story is full of enough elves, dwarves, wizards, magic, and dragons to make the special effects in 'Lord of the Rings' look like nothing. With this much financial and moral support, there is no doubt the movie will be a complete success.

Jackson has the talent, the support, and the budget to make this movie everything it should be. With this movie Peter Jackson will surly make middle earth history. Again.


Peter Jackson will begin principal photography this summer. Look for the movie's release in Christmas 2007 or Summer 2008.

yep... the original was
"The nineteenth-century dislike of realism is the rage of Caliban seeing his own face in a glass.
The nineteenth-century dislike of romanticism is the rage of Caliban not seeing his own face in a glass."
(Caliban is a -quite fascinating, animalic, somewhat faun-like- character in Shakespeare's "Tempest" )
