Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 27, 2010 Members Share Posted June 27, 2010 I can't believe they're still trying to make this thing happen... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted June 27, 2010 Members Share Posted June 27, 2010 Why not? It's almost a definite blockbuster (two of them) and every LOTR fan is going to run to the theaters to see it. I am so excited to hear there is still a chance that Jackson might direct. I really, really want this to happen, especially with him in charge.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 27, 2010 Members Share Posted June 27, 2010 Many other directors have been attached to this project over the years and it never pans out. Wasn't Jackson originally approached in the first place? He needs to make up his mind already, or it may never happen and it may never get the backing he would want if he ultimately agrees. I wonder how long they're going to drag it out again, they may as well do it with another director if Jackson keeps stalling. Would it be as good? Who knows, but it could certainly be done without him. This film franchise has simply been an idea for years that never pans out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members YRBB Posted June 28, 2010 Members Share Posted June 28, 2010 Well, a lot of movies get stuck in development hell. Usually, we just don't know about it Anyway, I'm really glad for this. Hope its made official soon. David Yates would have been a great second choice, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted June 28, 2010 Author Members Share Posted June 28, 2010 I'm actually indifferent regarding this, The Hobbit is a children's book... I don't know. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted June 28, 2010 Members Share Posted June 28, 2010 I think I'm probably more excited about the 2nd one, which is supposed to finish off THE HOBBIT and connect it up until the beginning of LOTR. If that's still the plan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
