June 15, 2010 - The Hobbit / rumored directors
Scooped on Tuesday, June 15, 2010
Here's a report that both MGM and New Line Cinema are wooing Peter Jackson to step in and direct The Hobbit. Other contenders include Harry Potter director David Yates, David Dobkin (Fred Claus) and Brett Ratner (X-Men: The Final Stand).
Reportedly, part of the complexity with negotiating for an A-list director is that already much of the profit sharing room to sweeten any deal has been already carved away by the Tolkien estate, producer Saul Zaentz and executive producer Harvey Weinstein.

Forget the back-end on the theatrical release....Jackson should take points on the DVD sales....
