The Lord of the Rings finished some time ago, and our boxing days have never really been the same. But never fear, Peter Jackson is apparently in discussions about making, The Hobbit, which may appear on the silver screen as early as boxing day 2007! (The date now appears more likely to be 2008-9) However rumour has it that, Jackson and Newline Cinemas parted on ill terms at the end of the Return of the King over apparent salary disputes, and so it is not clear whether Lord of the Rings fans will get to see the prequel movie they have been dying for and whether Jackson will film the epic. The rights to the Hobbit are also in dispute between Newline cinema and MGM.
The Hobbit will also include some former LOTR stars, Ian Mckellen is set to play Gandalf once more and Andy Serkis will continue to play Gollum/Smeagol. Whether or not Ian Holm will play Bilbo, considering Bilbo is in the prime of his youth in the movie, are unclear.
