BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Jackson ruled out of Hobbit film
This is a huge mistake. Jackson obviously is a fantastically talented director, and Lord of the Rings would not have been the success it was, in my opinion, without him. New Line should put the quality of the movie ahead of their own petty squabbling. If they make the movie without Jackson, I fear it won't be as good as it could have been. This news infuriates me.
