The Hobbit - the movie?

[yoda313]

So is there any word on whether or not they got the rights to go ahead with the prequel???

I know they said awhile back they (Peter Jackson and the gang) were willing to do the prequel but had issues with securing the rights.

Is there any progress on this????

isn't there a few sites that list movies like this?

I know imdb obviously but there are others that have regualr info and I wouldn't mind seeing those site links if people have them

an official response from the co-CEO/co-Chairman of New Line Cinema, Robert Shaye! Follow the link to read how our LET THE HOBBIT HAPPEN campaign was received at New Line Cinema!

We are very encouraged by Mr. Shaye's letter and feel that New Line Cinema has the best intentions of the fans at heart when the time comes to make The Hobbit a reality. And its pretty darn cool that Mr. Shaye sees Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh as critical to the success of bringing our favorite The Lord of the Rings prequel to the big screen.

But wait...there's more...

New Line Cinema might have responded, but we have yet to hear back from MGM/UA! Please keep up your letter writing and postcard sending efforts to the remaining two addresses on the left side of this page. One down, two to go!
