The only director I could possibly imagine to do the "hobbit's moive" well would be PJ. George Lucas or Steven Spielberg (as suggested by Time Warner) would totally ruin it to the worst hollywood-adventure-film you could imagine.<P>I think it will be hard to get Gandalf to do his role again, though. And they just can't use another actor. That includes Bilbo too. And there's another problem. They are both older now, especially Bilbo is a bit old to play himself as young. Not to mention Elrond (who I think looked suspiciously old for an elf in the movies we seen already), Galadriel, Celeborn and so on.<P>A hard project so to say...<p>[ December 20, 2002: Message edited by: Maeglin ]
