Jackson's Hobbit

Looks like Peter Jackson might yet get to bring The Hobbit to the big screen.

For once, there's reason to be cautiously optimistic. At this writing, no agreements have been announced and details of the negotiations are sketchy (neither New Line nor Jackson's camp would comment to EW on any aspect of this story), but sources close to the talks tell us that they're detecting a lot less frost in the air, and that a deal may be reached that could help usher J.R.R. Tolkien's maiden Middle-earth masterpiece to screens before the end of the decade.

Let's face it, Jackson is probably the only person that can be guaranteed to do this story justice- and New Line would be shooting themselves in the foot to deny him the opportunity to make them a fortune in the process. Everybody wins.
