Peter Jackson says 2nd ‘Hobbit’ script is finished

April 16th, 2010 by MrCere | Discuss

Moviefone scored an interview with Peter Jackson about the pair of ‘Hobbit’ movies that have been burning up internet bandwidth as every site remotely related to popular culture has been scrambling to get the lowdown on what in the devil has been going on. Director Guillermo del Toro has feed us information on our message boards and we have some reliable sources, but producer Jackson set the record strait on a couple of important facts:

• He says the 2nd script is now finished. “So the studio’s got both scripts now, which is a milestone,” said Jackson.
• The two movies haven’t been “delayed” because they never had a schedule
• No actors have been cast because the film hasn’t received a greenlight from the studios
• He confirmed our report about the MGM situation slowing up the start of production

You can read the whole story right here. Thanks to Magpie on our message boards and the blog of TORn friend Doug Adams on his LOTR music blog.

Here's hoping the MGM situation will clear up soon so they can go ahead with casting/getting actors signed!!!

Absolutely! I'm a bit concerned that this may not happen because of studio issues.

I'm sure it will - the question is just when!
