“MGM Weighs In On Hobbit
A day after Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson said he's bowing out of a film based on J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, MGM is saying the matter is far from closed, Variety reported.
Jackson had told TheOneRing.net that he and partner Fran Walsh were bowing out after New Line, which produced the Rings films and has production rights to The Hobbit, told them the studio was moving ahead with the project without them. Jackson has said he won't discuss The Hobbit until a lawsuit against New Line over Rings accounting practices was settled.
But MGM, which owns the distribution rights to The Hobbit, on Nov. 20 told Variety through a spokesman that ”the matter of Peter Jackson directing the Hobbit films is far from closed.“ New Line had no comment about Jackson's statement.
In his online statement, Jackson said that New Line executive Mark Ordesky, who shepherded the Rings trilogy, argued that New Line is dumping Jackson because the studio has a ”limited time option“ on the film rights, obtained from Saul Zaentz. ”
