What does your heart tell you?

My heart tells me PJ will be doing it. Always has, even when it looked unlikely. And now, based on recent comments from Sir Ian (McK), (see recent TORn home page article) it suddenly looks more likely than ever that it really will be PJ. There's nothing in these articles re Raimi that is new news. It'll be PJ and co ... I trust me heart, matey .

No official announcement, so I wouldn't bet on it.

The most recent is from April. The fact that nothing further has been said for 3 months makes me think that this isn't looking such a good idea to Raimi any more. And even back then, Raimi was saying he would only consider it if Peter Jackson agreed (which is smart, because the last thing he'd want to do is to draw the displeasure of the army of Jackson fans out there). Plus, as Loresilme mentions, Ian McKellen is now making it sound as if Peter Jackson is definitely still a player. McKellen says there's "movement in the right direction" (as of just a week or two ago), so that sounds as if the situation has changed since the articles about Sam Raimi came out. Things move in mysterious ways in Hollywood, and there's still every chance that things won't work out the way we'd like. But I get the impression that cooler heads have prevailed and realized that PJ's Hobbit is a 100% guaranteed moneymaker, whereas anyone else's would face controversy and resistance. Especially if the original Gandalf wasn't involved, and I get the impression that he wouldn't be, unless PJ himself agreed that he didn't want to do the movie.
...and the sails were drawn up, and the wind blew, and slowly the ship slipped away down the long grey firth; and the light of the glass of Galadriel that Frodo bore glimmered and was lost.

I hope those are wrong and Peter Jackson directs it. I just can't see anyone else doing it but him. Sam Raimi? wow.
The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return.

recent statements sound very optimistic regarding the possibility of Peter directing the Hobbit.

These are older pieces on Raimi & I don't believe anythings been heard on him directing since. After that last Hobbit rollercoaster ride (which was a bloody mess in my opinion) I am very reluctant to put much faith in anything short of actual evidence. What amazed me about this movie world is how little these people actually talk (do they go by body language mainly ?) While we fans are willing to talk hours on end about even the smallest details.

I just got the funniest mental image of Bob Shaye shimmying around the room and gesticulating wildly while PJ just sits there, looking bewildered! LOL!

That is comical now that you mention it. I had been thinking more of steely looks and arched eyebrows. But I think they would have their representatives actually doing the gestures, and be filming it secretly, for analysis later.

scroll down: http://www.cinematical.com/2007/07/30/comic-con-resident-evil-extinction-30-days-of-night-and/ "During the questions, we learned that Sam Raimi is not involved in The Hobbit film, Josh Hartnett was not afraid when making 30 Days of Night, even though director Slade tried to scare him pretty much every day. "Hey, I was in The Faculty,"
joked Hartnett, "so I wasn't scared." Other tidbits include the fact
that the filmmakers shot the movie in New Zealand using fake snow but
even then, according to Slade: "when your in an environment with all
this fake snow it really feels cold even if it isn't."

While he has displayed interest, he's tied up in the Spiderman franchise right now... though I know he's getting bored with that. If anything, it HAS to be filmed in NZ, and WETA HAS to work on it. Those two are a must. I am crossing my fingers for PJ though.
