'Peter Jackson and New Line Cinema have reached agreement to make J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit," a planned prequel to the blockbuster trilogy "The Lord of the Rings."'

Even if he's not directing, the fact that he's producing should give us the same high-quality production at the end.


This is the book that started it all for me. I hope to share that excitement with Kelley some day; she might even be old enough to appreciate it a little by the time it debuts in a few years.
