    I will wait for confirmation from Peter Jackson before getting excited about this

    • HD

      So is Peter confirmed to direct?

      • Scott or Steve

      You really have some serious emotional problems, don’t you?

      i think he’s just trying to be as irratating as possible for kicks. if viewed in that light Mr. David seems slightly more bearable.

    • Scott or Steve

      Hah! What a douche! I think the guy was simply pointing out that this flick has been reported as “go” and then stalled so many times that they are simply waiting for something more official. Way to over react chode licker.

      @LD and that’s why you read the article… because you don’t care about it enough to troll on others and then leave your two cents on the issue? what a clown. I love posters who can’t even be original enough to make up their own personal posting name so they use a celebrities name. that’s weak sauce kid.

      Best news I’ve heard all day. I’m just glad the studios haven’t turned it into a wreak like the James Bond series.

      Ian McKellan for Gandalf or bust!

    Would rather hear that the next James Bond film was greenlit.

    • Nerdo

      Not going to happen for a looooong time, if ever.

    PRAISE GANDALF!!!!!!!!

  • sab

    pleeease let this be true and that peter jackson is directing!!!

  • UGH

    I hope Martin Freeman will play Bilbo.

    • tipsy

      And I hope not. Most charisma-free actor since Elijah Wood. Oh, wait!

  • I’ll beleive it when I see it.

    With the trouble this film’s been having I won’t be fully convinced this film is a go until I’m sitting in the theatre waiting for the lights to go down.

    • danny

      and then the projector will malfunction, and it will be, like, sorry folks! ;-)

      • Nate

        Actually, while i can’t wait for this, I won’t believe its a go until the credits roll in the theater on part 2, and I’ve seen everything there is to see.
