Speaking of Jackson, I heard the other day that he will go back to Middle Earth and film The Hobbit. I don't know if this is true or not, but if it is, that would be great news. Can anybody confirm this? I stopped reading the sci-fi/fantasy movie mags a long time ago, and I don't have the time or inclination to scour the internet for such news.

www.theonering.net usually has the scoop on these matters. From what I read there, the Tolkien estate is giving PJ a hard time about doing The Hobbit, because... well, I don't really know why, except they're Luddites.
