Thanks for coming back to Clevver Movies, I’m Chelsea Cannell with your Hobbit update! Ever Since Guillermo Del Toro got out of the directors chair last week, rumors have been swirling that talks have heated up in recent days between Peter Jackson and Warner Brothers/New Line! Jackson is an obvious choice for the studio, not only because he made the “Lord of the Rings” movies but also because he is deeply involved as a producer on the “Hobbit” films. The only potential problem in securing Jackson could be the very reason Guillermo Del Toro left: The films timing. If they can workout a schedule that will allow the director to fast track the films for release in 2012 and 2013, the deal will likely move forward. However, Complications could arise from the shaky financial situation of partner MGM, which owns the “Hobbit” rights and could hold up the production timetable. That was the deal breaker for Guillermo and will likely be the problem for peter as well. Jackson will also have to decide if he wants to invest the time it will take to bring to life another one of JRR Tolkien’s tales. On a positive note, When Del Toro left the set, the film was already in the advanced stages of pre-production with “Middle Earth” already being built, and casting reportedly ready to begin. So will he or won’t he? Insiders expect a decision within the next few days! So, Now it’s your turn to weigh in… do you think the film would be Better with Guillermo Del Toro at the helm? Or does the potential of Peter Jackson make the hobbit that much better? Let us know your thoughts in the comment section! Thanks for watching Clevver Movies, See ya next time!
