Jackson took a weekend off recently from the filming of King Kong to visit Sydney’s Powerhouse Museum to check out the Lord of the Rings exhibition. He spoke briefly to fans about the upcoming film, The Hobbit.
The rights for the film are split between MGM and New Line Cinema. Jackson said that he’s keen to return to Middle Earth, but that MGM’s recent sale to Sony created some complications.
"I think there is probably a will and a desire to try and get it made," he said. "But I think it’s gonna be a lot of lawyers sitting in a room trying to thrash out a deal before it will ever happen."
We will see Peter Jackson’s next film, King Kong, next December.
