As cool as it would be to see the Hobbit made into a movie im affraid Chritopher Tolkien holds the rights to do so and he has made it very clear that does not like Jackson's LOTR.He believies that the movie should follow the book to a t,which as nice as that would be,is just not possible,who would want to sit through a 15 hour movie?<P>I think one day it could be possible but not as soon as people would like to see it(what was it 2008?)but then again CT is 77,maybe when the day comes he passes away the person who takes his plase will sell the rights not unless they respect his wishes to not sell it.So we just have to wait and see what futre holds...
