Tim Tolkien Speaks Out

Written by ady on October 16, 2007 – 11:35 am -

The nephew of JRR Tolkien has spoken of his wish to see Peter Jackson at the helm of The Hobbit movie.

“It would be complete madness for Peter Jackson not to be involved” Tim Tolkien told The Independent.

The British newspaper also reported that Robert Shaye (NewLine bos and Lord Of The Rings producer) is said to be close to brokering a ceasefire with the aim of bringing Peter Jackson back on board. They quote Tim Tolkien as saying “This would be great news.”

The paper also mentions NewLine are now in a hurry to get things moving as they only hold the movie rights for a limited time. Although they don’t mention when time is up, I believe it is 2010
