So, I have just heard the news that the powers that be from New Line Cinemas have decided to exclude Peter Jackson from the directorial role in the LotR prequel, The Hobbit.
^%@(*#@@#!!!&*^??!
Stupid idiot wankers who can’t get their collective heads out of their collective arses!. Honestly, who the hell else would you get to direct it? It’s a given. He made you 940 bajillion dollars on the other 3 movies, and you don’t want him to make you more money on this one (probably because he’s suing you currently for a few of those aforementioned bajillions but hey, what’s a few made up numerical figures between colleagues?)
All court case bad blood aside (and from what I’ve read, there isn’t any bad feelings from Peter), I can’t see anyone else who would have the proper scope of vision and passion to direct this. Gah! Right now I can honestly say that there is a very very absolutely strong chance that it’ll be Shite. Yeah, I know that that’s overreacting somewhat, but I stand by my conviction. I may change my mind if/when they announce more details, but I’m seriously hoping for an about face from New Line on this one. Idjits!
