New Line Cinema informs Peter Jackson his services aren’t required for “The Hobbit”
It sounds like this is directly the result of a lawsuit which Jackson brought against New Line regarding the reported profits for “Fellowship of the Ring.”
It’s sad that Jackson will not be involved since LOTR was his baby and while any other director will most likely reuse the Hobbiton set and follow in his footsteps, the honor should really go to Jackson.
On the other hand, Jackson’s absence from the project means that “The Hobbit” will clock in about 47 minutes shorter now.
You say that last part like it’s a good thing. 🙁
It is if the 47 minutes is all slow-motion.
Wow, you mean I’ll get out of the cinema the same day I went in?
