And here I thought we would at least get to Wednesday before we had another lame duck story to write about The Hobbit. I was wrong. The news today is that Peter Jackson, the confirmed producer and yet to be confirmed director of the two film series set in the Shire, is in Los Angeles meeting quietly with actors, trying to put together a large, international cast. The film is still in limbo, as Warner Bros. is furiously trying to wrestle away control of the production from the sinking ship that is MGM. Jackson is expected to go on tour with casting director Victoria Burrows, hitting New York and the U.K. next. In other news, I’ve decided to postpone getting a haircut today and instead, I will take a nap. The haircut has been delayed, like The Hobbit, indefinitely. But I’d also like to see it happen in 2012, with a sequel in 2013. [Heat Vision]
