Zixar Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Here's the Associated Press story: Jackson to make The Hobbit Jackson says he wants Ian McKellan to reprise his role as Gandalf (no word on Ian Holm as Bilbo) but there's a legal question to be hashed out between New Line and MGM over distribution rights. Jackson will spend the next 2 years working on his King Kong remake anyway, so it should be settled by the time he's ready to begin production. Kewl.

Pirate1974 Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 Too bad he's not going to do "The Hobbit" first. The world does not need another remake of "King Kong." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trefor Heywood Posted March 8, 2004 Share Posted March 8, 2004 I agree Pirate - altough I am sure that technically it will outshine the earlier two versions. But there is some legal stuff regarding different ownership and distribution rights re The Hobbit. Guess PJ wanted to keep occupied in the meantime. Trefor Heywood "Cymru Am Byth!"
