I douubt this is true. After Jackson was messed about by Universal over making King Kong he's taking a 1 year hiatus to relax. Have you seen how much weight he lost with stress over making Kong. He only made it
because it has been his dream project (he was supposed to make it before LotR) even inspite of his wealth.Yes I realise a 1 year break from making films could still allow Jackson to direct a HP movie, yet I doubt he would buy into another franchise so easily. I hope the Hobbit will be made eventually, then he can get back onto films like the Frighteners, which was great.
yeah, he lost so much weight. it's going from Rosie O Donald to Christina Ricci

There ya go, I thought i would just correct that post for you. As well I should mention that I have absolutly no idea what I'm talking about when it comes to film.
I fixed yours too.
Peter Jackson directing would be pretty sweet... Some one mentioned Tim Buton being rumored to direct it... I have to say, though highly unlikely, it would be so freakin awesome. Espectially for the darker books.

But why Harry Potter?...I mean why would Jackson want to direct; devote 2 or so years of his life, to a Harry Potter film? Seriously

A new experience, perhaps? You saw how big his recent movies were, King Kong, LOTR. The world of Harry Potter is unique in a way that Jackson can easily tweak it to greatness.
My question sitll stands to reason...
He only made King Kong because of complications over rights etc... He was planning to make it and had started developement on Kong nearly 10 years ago now, only then he had the LotR idea...however he still had to make Kong.
And surely imbersing himself in yet another big budget franchise would not be a good move for someone who lost numerous pounds in stress over kong.
If you've seen The Frighteners then you'll know what kind of movie Jackson likes to make...not HP movies....
