PJ and The Hobbit

In an interview at EW.com Peter Jackson talks about the forthcoming movie of The Hobbit. He does not know if he will be approached to make the movie and says; “Obviously, once a studio decides to make a movie, they’re not necessarily going to wait around for a particular director to become free. So I guess I’m either going to get involved making it or I get to go and enjoy the film when it’s released. We’ll see.”
