Nov 20 2006Peter Jackson Won't Return to Middle Earth
In a sad letter to the TheOneRing.net, Peter Jackson has confirmed that, due to problems with New Line, he will not be continuing his work on the Lord of the Rings saga with an adaptation of The Hobbit, and the company will find another director. I think a fan captured all our feelings best when he said, "One ring to rule them all, one director should make them all. Now back to waiting in line for something." Well spoken, anonymous nerd. Well spoken.
I've heard some fans are so outraged by the news that they already plan to boycott the movie when it eventually comes out. Sure, just like you "boycotted" the third Star Wars after you got so angry about the first two. Sorry, guys, but seeing it out-of-costume is still seeing it.

If it weren't for Jackson the first three movies and subsequent billions would never have been made.
