 Variety has an article about New Line and its plans for the next few years. The Hobbit is of course one of the biggest projects for the company: more expensive than the LotR project, but also a safer bet, because of the success of the trilogy. Seeing the slow progress of the script - the second part has still not been submitted to New Line - they are now apparently no longer ruling out the option of pushing back the first part to 2012. Quote: "Once the script for the second film is in -- Jackson and his longtime collaborators Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens are working on it with Del Toro -- New Line will work up a budget for both films and start casting.

| A Movie Museum for Wellington, NZ? |
| Dec 18, 2009 - 7:30 AM - by Elwen |
|
The NZ Dominion Post reports that Peter Jackson is planning a film museum in Wellington. There would be exhibits from all his films, all the way back to Bad Taste, but of course, LotR would have to be an important part of such a project. A film school might also be attached to the museum. The article linked above surveys the evidence for such a plan, and considers how much progress the project may have made in recent months.
