While MGM have been in talks with Peter Jackson about making two movies based on The Hobbit there are some potential barriers in the way. You can read more in this article in Variety.
“Even so, Sloan remains optimistic. He said the first ‘Hobbit’ pic would be a direct adaptation of ‘The Hobbit,’ and the second would be drawn from footnotes and source material connecting ‘The Hobbit’ with ‘The Lord of the Rings.‘”
OMGosh!!! that would be sooooo….. AWESOME! =D

I think that it would be awesome to have those two versions of the Hobbit! I really hope things can be settled between New Line and PJ so that they can begin making the movies!

I think it would be kinda weird if they did two movies, but it would probably end up being cool.
I just hope they can get things straight with PJ/New Line so they’ll actually *make* the thing and not just talk about.
I think they’ll end up making it sometime… But when? No clue. Like they said, probably not until things are straigtened up with PJ and New Line.

Hm…. so did they let 1000 employees go so they could have more money to make movies!?!? That doesn’t seem right…. But anyway, I surely hope Pj can get things straightened out with Newline and stuff.. The Hobbit would be awesome to have!! :disco:

I think it’s hilarious that there’s all this news about MGM wanting to make The Hobbit, when they’re only the distributor.

Well there were heaps of difficulties regarding making LotR, and that all turned out fine and dandy. It’ll happen, I’m sure, it’s just a matter of when… hopefully in this lifetime, lol. 😀
