It’s that time of the year again folks.

The ‘Peter Jackson is helming THE HOBBIT’ rumors are spreading again. This time the source seems to have come from MarketSaw (no I don’t know them either) with the added juicy tidbit that it will be filmed in 3D, with the LOTR trilogy to be re-released in cinema’s in the same format around the same time.

This would probably be 2013-2015, as Jackson is a pretty busy guy right now and these films aren’t made in five minutes.

The last time we spoke on THE HOBBIT was when Entertainment Weekly published an article updating us on the situation and they hinted towards talks between Jackson and New Line actually taking place despite their past and indeed still current legal troubles.

Have those talks progressed into Jackson filming this thing in 3D? We know he wants to experiment in the technology in the future as he is soon to be working on a 3D TINTIN trilogy with Steven Spielberg.

The site claim THE HOBBIT will be covered over two movies (something we have heard previously) as Jackson is one for incorporating and shooting as much as he possibly can with his epic projects, this also seems very likely.

Could it be really true?

Most sites are being very cautious and purposefully not getting to over excited over this news because we have been burnt so many times in the past with Jackson being on/off with the project.

And Obsessed With Film is no different. We are being cautious too. Cautious but still can’t help being hopeful.
