I had heard someone was working on a new film version of The Hobbit but heard Peter Jackson was not involved. From the WikiPedia article it sounds like Peter is going to be the executive producer, and there will actually be two films instead of one which will lead the plot right up to the start of the LOTR. Excellent! I can't wait! The films are scheduled for release in December 2011 and December 2012. So long to wait... but I'm sure it will be worth it!!! I was actually going to visit the set for "Hobbiton" which is about 40 minutes from where I am today in Rotorua, but the weather is very rainy so I'll hope to make that visit on a subsequent NZ trip. I did meet a school principal yesterday who has the children of the people who own that farm where Hobbiton is in his school. He's even been duck hunting there! I recorded a short interview with him that I'll be posting soon as part of a learning@school09 voices podcast.
