What's your opinion? Do you think New Line Cinema did the right thing by cutting out Peter Jackson, or do you think they shot themselves in the foot by letting him go?
Apparently he was let go because he wanted more money for the LOTR movies and the related merchandise (he got $200 million, which is a nice chunk of change, but the article says the movies and merchandise made almost $5 billion, but it probably made even more than that), and New Line probably used that as a reason for not re-hiring him.
Do you think that the Hobbit will be as good without Jackson? Or will another director somehow be able to do a good variation of it? I don't think I'll go see it without Jackson being involved in it, unless they bring in another director I like (and if it's Paul WS Anderson or Uwe Boll, it's going to get trashed to heck and what not lol).
Jam it back in, in the dark.
