Freeman wouldn't be addressing any of this publicly if there was still a legit chance he could get the role.

 

[Boom]

Some good news, I guess. Of course, knowing the luck of this project, no progress will be made.

Peter Jackson definitely directing "The Hobbit"

It's been decided--the movie adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit will (thankfully!) be directed by The Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson.
Unfortunately, the movie still has another obstacle in its way before a February start date can be confirmed for filming. Warner Brothers' New Line Cinema unit and MGM are financing the film project--which will be broken into two movies--and a budget has already been drawn up for filming in New Zealand. Yet it seems that a union dispute could prevent local actors and contractors from signing on.

The Hobbit is, indeed, greenlit. The announcement was made by New Line and Warner Brothers.

and with with Peter Jackson directing?

THATS A OK!

 

[redhawk23]

I must wonder though if Jackson's heart is truly in it or if he is directing it out of necessity...

 

[Angel_Faerie]

Time to bring out the champagne, folks! WOO!!

Directing the Hobbit is not a Necessity for Peter Jackson... He could just find another director if he wished. Trust me, with all that he's putting up with just to make these movies... his heart is in it. Plus, he's been writing/producing/leading these films for two years.

 

[Bunker]

****ing YES.
