Today I received an email from the folks at theonering.net telling me of the fantastic announcement made in Hollywood today.
Peter Jackson and New Line Cinema have put aside their differences - royalties from the “Fellowship of the Ring” - to join forces with MGM to produce “The Hobbit” over two films, slated for release in 2010/2011, a full 7 years since the release of “Return of the King”.
Hopefully some of the cast will return - most notably of course, Sir Ian McKellan as Gandalf and Andy Serkis as Gollum.
One Ring and all that…
