October 25, 2006 - MGM and New Line Cinema are moving ever closer to making J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit (http://movies.ign.com/objects/492/492768.html) a big-screen reality. And now it seems that the studios may be planning not one, but two films based on the 1937 fantasy novel.

MGM chief operating officer Rick Sands revealed the plans this past weekend during a trade show in Orlando, Florida, according to the Hollywood Reporter (http://movies.ign.com/articles/741/741713p1.html#).
The Hobbit (http://movies.ign.com/objects/492/492768.html) follows Bilbo Baggins on an adventure with a band of dwarves and the wizard Gandalf as they attempt to reclaim the dwarves' stolen treasure and restore their kingdom
This is the second time in the past month that Sands has publicly commented on the project. A few weeks ago, he issued a statement in response to a fan petition urging MGM and New Line to pursue Lord of the Rings helmer Peter Jackson (http://movies.ign.com/articles/741/741713p1.html#) as the director of The Hobbit (http://movies.ign.com/objects/492/492768.html).
"Peter Jackson's phenomenal success with The Lord of the Rings (http://movies.ign.com/articles/741/741713p1.html#) trilogy makes him the first and most ideal choice for directing The Hobbit. MGM would be thrilled to collaborate with the Academy Award-winning director on this MGM New Line Cinema production," Sands said.

Never much liked the LOTR or this series. Am still holding my breath waiting for the Ender Wiggin series however, which was my favorite and still is by far.
