Yes, King Kong was too long - but is still a very good movie (if I start watching the dvd 50 minutes in)

A few things - We should remember that PJ is the PRODUCER of this film, not the director. That's a very different kettle of fish. When do we moan or praise Barrie Osbourne on this site for the LOTR movies?

Also, it's got a budget of $30-$40m dollars - That's not gonna take them long to spend is it????!!!! So I can't see this film taking too much of PJ's time up.

And finally, why does PJ HAVE to direct The Hobbit? As good a job as he did on LOTR, maybe he'll decide he's had enough of Middle-earth - a new director could still use Weta Workshop et all for the work. Or perhaps PJ could always be the Producer of the Hobbit instead of the Director......
