Favorite moviegoers Peter Jackson will not direct the film "The Hobbit" under any circumstances. This statement was made by the head of the New Line film company Bob Shaye, Variety reports. It seems that the style of "The Hobbit", which still plans to shoot New Line, will be very different from the epic "The Lord of the Rings".

The film company and the director have accumulated a lot of mutual grievances. Jackson believes that he was not paid all the promised money. And the head of New Line declares that he is offended by the refusal of Jackson and the Lord's actors who supported him to participate in the filming of the film dedicated to the 40th anniversary of the film company. Shay categorically refuses further services to Jackson.

“This will never happen as long as I am heading this company,” said the head of the film company. "I don't want to work with this guy anymore, and I won't let him make any films for us." According to him, all of Jackson's claims about non-payment of part of the remuneration for his work on the Lord of the Rings trilogy are groundless.

Before breaking up, Peter Jackson talked about how he would make the movie "The Hobbit". He was going to give the picture an epic touch, like "The Lord of the Rings." Perhaps the film would have been a two-part film.

Peter Jackson says he is "saddened that Bob chose to go personal." “I have always had great respect for the management of the New Line film company and, despite the existence of a number of unresolved issues, I continue to treat them the same way,” the director emphasized.

Most likely, now "The Hobbit" will be filmed by the creator of the trilogy "Spider-Man" Sam Raimi (Sam Raimi). According to the website TheOneRing.net, an unnamed source at the New Line film company shared this information with reporters.
