It'll happen. There's too huge a pile of money to be made. They'll argue over who gets the larger slice of the pie, but they both really, really like pie.

I would doubt very seriously that it could be on an actual schedule for 2007; we have movies coming out in late 2007 that have already been in the works for a couple years now. We would have long ago heard about a confirmation from Jackson, casting rumors, etc. Since Jackson's next film is Dambusters, I doubt he's going to be turning his eye towards The Hobbit before 2008 at least, with maybe a release in 2010, 2011. Assuming they get Jackson to do it, of course. They'd be fools not to, but that never stopped Hollywood.

Jackson has Dambusters and Halo on his plate right now, IIRC, but I think he's not directing either of them, just producing.

Guillermo del Toro was going to be directing Halo but now its "Neill Blomkamp"
but Guillermo still doing Hellboy 2 (yay )

You schedule pre-production dates...why couldn't have been just that?

You know I was watching some VH1 special the other day... and they showed that Music Video with Leonard Nimoy signing that "Bilbo" song... I think I died a little inside
