Weir does The Hobbit?

Weir is a great director, but I don't think the Hobbit should be made without Jackson. Too bad the whole problem with New Line is getting in the way of PJ coming back and finishing what he started.
By the way Stock... I could be wrong but I think Tom Bombadil was in Fellowship of the Ring (his story line was left out), not The Hobbit.

Uhhhh....good choice as far as credentials, but I'd take him for Hobbit only if he had done family-action films. Not a bad nomination, though. We'll see. Although in all honesty, I gotta agree with powerbomb and say Raimi could do it better. The way he's directed the spidey-films pretty much fits the styled needed for Hobbit, and after SM3, I want him off of those anyway.

This guy obviously knows what he's doing , but New Line still doesn't get it , it's not just about skill and talent with regards to the Hobbit , or the Lotr trilogy for that matter , it's about something intangible that i can't really explain , that translates to the screen because of the spirit behind it . Pj captured that spirit and created a world not too many could have imagined could have been realized cinematically . Everything was aligned when those films were created , it was something akin to fate , and Pj saved a studio that was in need of something big .

This is how they thank him for his efforts , these guys were prob wel off before the trilogy , but now , mainly because of Jackson , they are jillionaires , living the high life , he covered alot of their mistakes in the past , made them go away with these three films , and it wasn't because he was trying to be a directorial hero , it's because he was grateful for the chance to share his talents , his passion , his skill , his genuine affection for the world of middle earth , the money came second .


I think Pj changed the face of epics with these efforts , he deserves to expand on , and finish off what he started , he is the only man or woman that should go anywhere near these films . This is his baby , if he doesn't do it , nobody else should , New Line has to stop being cheap ass ( if they are holding back on money owed , it's more than cheap , it's criminal at this point ) pinheads and open their books , if they are holding back on money owed to Jackson , consider me a person that will never , ever buy , watch , or pay for another one of their films . I'm not even buying any future Lotr trilogy offerings until they come to their senses . Hell , how can i know the money will go to who it's supposed to at this point , these guys are toxic in my book .

No Raimi , he's just a he made money with Sm current golden boy pick , although i'm not saying he couldn't do it , no Pan's Toro , no Commander Weir , wake the fekk up already New Line , and conduct yourselves like gentlemen .


Swallow your pride , show Pj the books , and kiss and make up , or just bite your tongue , if you are even capable of such .If not , as far as i am concerned , the Lotr trilogy directed by Pj ( but unfortunately produced by NL ) will be the only official , most effective , genuine cinematic creation of Middle Earth . Go and choose someone else to do the Hobbit , have your fun and rip someone else off , i'm even surprised someone else will even trust you lot after this debacle .

This whole affair leaves such a bad taste in my mouth , it really is tainting what Jackson and crew have done , it's destroying what these films mean to me , it's anathema to what these films were about .
