Is a shake-up of New Line Cinema by Time Warner coming?

On February 6, Variety posted a major story about an hour-long conference call that Time Warner’s new CEO Jeff Bewkes held with Wall Street analysts today.

Also, there is hope that the writer's strike could end as early as this coming Monday... which would mean they could finally go ahead with The Hobbit. See Kristin's blog entry here for more information. Fingers crossed - I'm sure we'll all be happy when things finally get moving!

Wheeeee!! New project for Dom!

And it sounds very interesting too! Eeeeeeh!
