I heard an interview where PJ was asked if he would consider a remake of The Hobbit to follow his super successful trilogy - he said something like "that would be nice - I would definitely consider it as it would be cool to complete the story in that way and bring it up to date" . . . or some such. this happened right around all the Oscar hubbub over RotK, etc.

Has anyone heard anything more on that subject? Is there any rational way of pressing PJ and company (Weta Workshop, et al) to push the project forward?? That would just be supreme to have him tell that story in film with the energy and perfection he put into TLotR series!

From what I could find there has not been anything official and his next project is announced to be "The Lovely Bones" due to be released in 2007. But consider this. The movie rights for "The Hobbit" were split between a fair few people back in the day and it would seem very unlikely that anyone would give that up to Peter Jackson so he could make the Hobbit.

And personally I think that it is a good thing.
I never liked what he did to the Lord of the Rings and I doubt he would be able to make a satisfactory version of The Hobbit.
But that's just me 02:D

Oh, I totally disagree with you there. So what are you one of those Tom Bombadil fans that didn't like the editing (i.e. shortening the script) for the movie? You know, I always thought the HP folks should have reached out to the fellow who played Gandalf to see if he would step into DD's shoes - I so dislike the new DD (mostly because his nails were too dirty in #3 and his robes weren't as regal and he WAS TOO SHORT next to Snape). Alas.

But I hear ya - Strider was probably a bit too pretty, and Legolas surfing down the stairs on a shield in 2towers was strictly Hollywood, but otherwsie I got totallt lost in three of the coolest movies ever made - but that's just me.
