MGM Wants Peter Jackson For The Hobbit

 Posted by: Stanch
Well it would seem that petitions do work. After almost 35,000 people signed a petition asking for Peter Jackson to helm The Hobbit movie it seems MGM wants to do just that. quote from the Onering.net
"Peter Jackson's phenomenal success with The Lord of the Rings trilogy makes him the first and most ideal choice for directing The Hobbit," said MGM COO Rick Sands. "MGM would be thrilled to collaborate with the Academy Award-winning director on this MGM New Line Cinema production. And, I'm sure to the delight of the 50,000 filmgoers who have petitioned us in recent weeks, demanding we bring this film to fruition, we have had a few initial conversations about the project with Mr. Jackson's representatives."
That all said, I really dont think that MGM caved to a petition, there have been much larger petitions that have gone nowhere. MGM realizes that this is an idiot proof idea. Why wouldnt you want the guy who did the Lord of the rings to do your movie? The larger challenge, getting Peter Jackson on board.
