Sam Raimi NOT involved with "The Hobbit" !
It looks like "The Hobbit" is Peter Jackson's baby. With New Line stating that Jackson is involved and Raimi recently saying he no longer is, it doesn't take many taters to figure out that Jackson is back at the helm directing! This is truly great news:
- Q: Are you involved with “The Hobbit”?
- Sam Raimi: I am not involved. I respect the director [Peter Jackson] a great deal and he may do it some day, so no.
Now for some conjecture: What if Weta Digital is capable of making The Hobbit in 3D? James Cameron is using Weta Digital on his upcoming mega blockbuster Avatar which is entirely shot in 3D - imagine the movie that Jackson could come up with in that scenario? Maybe wishful thinking, but whoa what an immersive movie that would be. C'mon Peter. If you are reading this humble blog use the Cameron/Pace Fusion 3D Camera System and truly make The Hobbit the next generation of Tolkien treasure.
You can read more about James Cameron and his 3D technology within this blog. It is truly amazing technology.
