Yeah, he's doing King Kong. The rights to The Hobbit still lies with the Tolkien estate I think, and Tolkien's kid isn't too keen on selling the rights. He has said that he didn't like what Jackson did with LotR, so we'll see if he really thinks that and sits on the rights or if he's just being a difficult cunt to raise the price before he sells it. Sir Ian 1 is on board, and I really hope they figure out a way to make Sir Ian 2 look young without ripping his face apart so he can return as Bilbo.
