Earth-Shattering News! Peter Jackson to Direct “Hobbit” Movies!
After weeks of chatter, discussion, rumor and hearsay about whether or not Peter Jackson would helm the two upcoming “Hobbit” movies, it appears all of the papers have finally come together. New Line Cinema and MGM have agreed upon precisely how much financing each studio is going to stand behind, and Peter Jackson’s contract has been been sorted as well. Now, if the studios, Jackson and the New Zealand unions can only come to an agreement, filming will start Down Under in February. If not, odds are another location will be found. Stay tuned.
