More potentially problematic is the fact that MGM owns the distribution rights to the film. An MGM spokeman insists that MGM remains firmly in the Jackson camp: "We support Peter Jackson, and when the dust settles, we believe he is the one who will be making this movie."

I'm with them...

Shaye has declared Jackson persona-non-grata at New Line, stating publicly that, "He will never make any movie with New Line Cinema again while I'm still working at the company."

If New Line has any sense, they'll dump Shaye and bring back PJ.

In the last few weeks, Shaye has declared Jackson persona-non-grata at New Line, stating publicly that, "He will never make any movie with New Line Cinema again while I'm still working at the company."

Fine, then get rid of Shaye. It's Peter or nothing.

I can't imagine anyone other than Peter Jackson directing the Hobbbit.

While I had a few exceptions to his treatment of LOTR, overall his adaption was pretty darn good.

Nobody else could have pulled it off.
