back? also...do we know if peter jackson and weta are involved this time? or is it totally new? casting decisions? will be interesting to see how this develops. i know christopher tolkien was not a fan of PJ's work. maybe he ok'd it with the promise to use someone else? sad IMHO, even with some bad hobbit decision, PJ still has a pretty awesome grasp on middle earth and it would be weird to turn it over to someone else. some of the stuff del toro was going to do with hobbit were even worse than PJ's version.
