Is Peter Jackson making a movie about The Hobbit, as he did with Lord of the Rings? And if he is when will it come out?

Peter Jackson, director of The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, stated in March 2005 that a motion picture version of The Hobbit was being considered, but that it would be at least March 2008 or 2009 before filming would start. [1] Jackson reported being "burned out" from the filming of the trilogy, and wanted to work on other things beyond The Lord of the Rings. Despite his comments, MGM reported on September 11, 2006 that they were going ahead with the production of The Hobbit and it will be released over the next few years. MGM will be making the film in cooperation with New Line Cinema, but Peter Jackson has thus far not signed on to the project. [2] Jackson has responded on AICN that he is surprised that MGM didn't actually approach him, but would nonetheless like to, though he has other projects such as The Lovely Bones to attend to. However, he would certainly like to expand on the original story with the White Council subplot. [3] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hobbit Sep 22 06, 12:04 PM

He wants to but has not got backing. 18-Sep-2006 "Peter Jackson talks in an interview in detail about The Hobbit: He still waits to be asked by MGM and New Line to produce The Hobbit. Meanwhile his calendar gets stuffed more and more with other projects. So maybe someone else will make the movie. Jackson would like to continue with the actors from Lord of the Rings and even include these roles which don't appear in The Hobbit or are only mentioned marginally, like Legolas and Saruman. With a movie in two parts he would show Saurons defeat against the White Council and his return to Mordor." http://derhobbit-film.de/indexengl.shtml Sep 22 06, 12:05 PM

Any truth to the rumor that Peter Jackson is going to make a Hobbit movie? When did the original Star Wars movie first come out? Is the Lord of the Rings: The Hobbit, already in theaters? Is it on DVD? When will it come out? How did copper come to be chosen for making pennies?
