Если PJ и будет снимать Хоббита, то он отнюдь не собирается строго придерживаться книги:
"That's what we talked about this morning. Taking The Hobbit and combining it with all that intigue about Sauron's rise, and the problems that has for Gandalf. It could be cool. That way, it starts feeling more like The Lord of the Rings and less like this kids book. You could even get into Gollum's sneaking into Mordor and Aragorn protecting The Shire. That's what we'd do. Love to work with Viggo again."
уж не знаю, хорошо ли это или плохо...
