If Raimi's directing, then I'm 98% happy with this (Wishing, of course, that PJ would direct instead.)

But if he's involved, that's what's critical.

And somehow? I suspect that suit from Saul Zaentz is what tipped the balance. Heh.

[ourdramaqueen]

Yup, I can live with Sam directing, though of course PJ is still my dream director.

Heh, Zaentz's suit certainly won't have hurt. ;)

"Huh," she said. "Huh."

Very interesting. God, I would have loved to have heard the final conversations about all this.

Good news. Finally.

Oh to have been a fly on the wall... :)

Thank Illuvatar!

Funny how this came about after The Golden Compass didn't give New Line the numbers they expected.

I don't care the reason, I'm just thrilled to see it's going forward. Now, what do they mean by two movies? Are they splitting the Hobbit up? This should be very interesting

[ourdramaqueen]

Certainly not back home. :)

Ah - they've been talking about that. The first film would be The Hobbit, and the second would be filling the gap between it and LotR. I guess we might see things like Aragorn and his rangers protecting the Shire etc.!

Some info is in a presentation that TORn put together a while ago, with (well-grounded) speculation about The Hobbit: http://www.theonering.net/thehobbit07.html
