The Hobbit in 2007? (Thanks, Yav!) It must be a nefarious plot by New Line to overshadow the 30th anniversary of Star Wars.
Okay, seriously, weren’t there rights issues involved? I don’t recall hearing anything about a resolution… But then, it is just an anon tip, so who knows?
My mother just told me that Dreamworks finished up buying stuff (sandbags, blocks, etc.) from the company she works at. I asked her repeatedly, “You’re SURE it’s THE HOBBIT? Lord of the Rings, short people, etc.?” She said “Well, that’s what the invoice said!”
She’s not a big geek like I am, so it’s hard to tell if she was really talking about THE Hobbit, or is slipping into the crazy.
So according to my mother, production for The Hobbit has already begun.
