Hobbit Hit List

Aint it Cool are reporting that, behind Sam Raimi and Peter Weir in the queue are four more potential Hobbit directors: Stephen Sommers, Michael Bay, Brad Silberling and Bill Condon.

Er... what on earth? Only Silberling seems anything like a sensible choice. At all.

Weir Little Men

Aint it Cool are spreading a so-far-rumour that Peter Weir has been approached to direct The Hobbit. Frankly, that sounds wonderful. Fingers crossed. We don't want this ending up with Mira Nair, Chris Columbus or Ang Lee (all rumoured implausibly on messageboards as the months have ticked by).
