Peter Jackson may make The Hobbit after all
Stuff.co.nz report that Bob Shaye of New Line Cinema has been in communication with Peter Jackson’s representative, about getting him to direct The Hobbit.
They also report that Sir Ian McKellan is currently in New Zealand and at a news conference said, “there was no doubt that a rumoured reprisal of his Gandalf role in a film version of The Hobbit would be discussed with Jackson and Walsh.”

oh my gosh, I really hope he does! I would be uber happy if he made the Hobbit!
Oh my goodness, what terrific news, this is excellent! 😀
However, I will continue to keep my fingers crossed…just in case. 😉
HA HA HA YES!!!!!!!!!! 😀
This is so good! I am sure that Peter Jackson is the only director that could do justice to it. I really hope that Jackson does this movie. If he is not the director, I will probably not go see it.
Finally… And in my opinion the whole project would be a disaster without PJ’s interpretation of Middle Earth and Sir Ian’s Gandalf 😀
Oh my God this is so exciting!!!
EEEEE! YAAAAYYY!!! WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
*tries to settle* Well, at least there’s a glimmer of hope now!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D
About time Sound Sense rather than Nonsense prevailed!!!
Only Ian McKellan could reprise Gandalf, and here’s hoping that PJ climbs aboard too. Very Welcome News.
Maybe the petetions that so many fans signed actually caused a ripple with New Line.. they must know that the LOTR fans who paid out so much money for the trilogy wouldn’t be doing the same for a Jackson-less Hobbit. I’m keeping my fingers crossed!
I sure hope PJ will be the director! Otherwise The Hobbit won’t really match up with the LOTR movies… *fingers crossed* I also heard Orlando Bloom wants to be in The Hobbit if PJ directs… don’t know how that would work out…
I just read something on theonering.net about PJ maybe being involved with the movie, not necesarily directing it. Hmm…
Good news anyhow! I’m excited.
Wahoo! yes,yes,yes!
The Hobbit just can’t be created without PJ,and as many of the relevant LotR actors/actresses should be involved too! Good on you Ian McKellen!
I’m most definitely behind PJ all the way on this one!
This is the best news I have heard in a long time. There is always hope.
Ha! Looks like High-And-Mighty Shaye finally caved.
Yay! Let’s hope that this happens!
Yea!!
I simply cannot imagine any other director doing justice to The Hobbit and was astounded to hear about the ‘problems’ New Line was having with this. They are a smart lot over at New Line though and it looks like they have come to their senses.
OMG that would be wicked awesome i’m definitly keeping my fingers crossed:)
if i might be as bold as to qote Enya 😀 then I say “MAY IT BE”!!! 😀
