The hobbit when is it gonna be done?

[LadyTass2001]

Got this off of Scifi-News Of the Week.

scar-winning Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson told the Australian Associated Press that it will be at least three years before he shoots the Rings prequel, The Hobbit. Jackson is currently shooting King Kong. Asked how long it would be before he tackles The Hobbit, J.R.R. Tolkien's first book set in Middle-earth, Jackson said: "Three or four years would be accurate, I would say."

The rights to The Hobbit are split between MGM and New Line Cinema, the AAP reported. Jackson said that he was keen to return to Middle-earth, but that MGM's sale to Sony made the project's future unclear. "I think there is probably a will and a desire to try and get it made," he said. "But I think it's going to be a lot of lawyers sitting in a room trying to thrash out a deal before it will ever happen."

I'm glad Jackson didn't wait for the release to the rights of "The Hobbit" before doing "Lord of The Rings" as we may never have seen the wonders that he was able to pull off in the trilogy. After waiting 30 years and selling hobbit T-shirts to get interest going in the 70s, I am extremely happy with the results he gave us. I don't expect anything less with "The Hobbit".

I wouldn't be a bit surprised if he doesn't already have some of the scenes ready to go, but that's just my hunch.........

I figure that you will have a long wait for the Hobbit to be made.
