Oke, nog eentje dan

Saul Zaentz, de eigenaar van alles wat met Tolkien te maken heeft liet zijn licht over The Hobbit verfilming schijnen en wierp zo een heel ander licht op de zaak. Het lijkt er steeds meer op dat PJ zelf binnenkort de rechten koopt:

Q: What is with the long anticipated Hobbit-adaption?

A: It will definitely be shot by Peter Jackson. The question is only when. He wants to shoot another movie first. Next year the Hobbit-rights will fall back to my company. I suppose that Peter will wait because he knows that he will make the best deal with us. And he is fed up with the studios: to get his profit share on the rings trilogy he had to sue New Line. With us in contrast he knows that he will be paid fairly and artistically supported without reservation.
