There in Middle Earth and back again...looks like "The Hobbit" could be in theatres by December 2010! Peter Jackson and New Line Cinema have finally reached an agreement after years of litigation. The New York Times reports that although he would not be directing, he and his wife Fran Walsh will be executive producers and have the right to approve all creative elements. An untitled sequel that bridges the gap between "The Hobbit" and the start of the LOTR trilogy is also planned.
In the meantime, the LOTR producing and writing team have been working on the film adaptation of "The Lovely Bones". It was also recently announced that Mr. Jackson will be directing "Tintin" for Steven Spielberg. This will reunite him with Gollum himself, Andy Serkis. No, Andy will NOT be playing Tintin.
