“This blog is rather like a fusion of the Baroque ‘salon’ with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West “saloon” with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven.” - Fr. Z

Well, I’m not sad to know that Peter Jackson won’t be allowed to make a hash of The Hobbit the way he made a hash of LOTR . . . but hopefully his replacement won’t make it ever worse.
If they can make a Hobbit that’s at least as good as The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, then it’ll be a great film. But I cringe that they might make something on a par with Jackson’s LOTR or worse.
I think Shatner can pull it off. :)
With today’s technology, almost anyone could do it. The difficulty will be finding someone who will be faithful to the book, something Jackson has difficulty with.
If Shatner is Gandalf, then surely Nimoy should be Elrond????
Even more than the outcry over PJ not being on the project, I find it amusing that so many people believe that Ian McKellan is God’s gift and no one can play Gandalf besides him…
