The Age reports that Peter Jackson has been barred from making a film version of The Hobbit because of a bitter feud between Jackson and Hollywood studio New Line.
Jackson is in a legal battle with New Line over royalties from the three Lord of the Rings films. Bob Shaye, the co-chairman of studio New Line which oversaw production of the Lord of the Rings trilogy said: "(Jackson's) got a quarter of a billion dollars paid to him so far, justifiably, according to contract, completely right, and this guy turns around without wanting to have a discussion with us and sues us." "I do not want to make a movie with somebody who is suing me."

Jackson said in a statement published today by trade daily Variety that he was disappointed by Shaye's comments. "It is regrettable that Bob has chosen to make it personal. I have always had the highest respect and affection for Bob and other senior management at New Line and continue to do so."
He said he had been left with "no alternative" to take legal action against New Line because the company "was and continues to be completely uncooperative" over the royalties wrangle.
Whether New Line are failing to meet the contractual obligations or Jackson is being greedy, one thing's for sure, The Hobbit will not be the same without Peter Jackson as director.
