I would not choose anyone else besides Peter Jackson to the a film adapatation of <I>The Hobbit</I>. Not only have I been thoroughly moved by his first two <I>Lord of the Rings</I> films (and I hold out hope that the third will be even better!), I could not imagine anyone else's artistic take being brought into a <I>Hobbit</I> movie, as it would ruin the continuity of the Tolkien-film genre. I would have absolutely no problem with Arwen or Legolas making appearances in <I>The Hobbit</I>. I think a <I>Lord of the Rings</I>-like tone would be perfect for a <I>Hobbit</I> movie. I wonder, if they decide to take on this project, who will play Thranduil and the young Bilbo Baggins? Not to mention Thorin Oakenshield and the Dwarves, Beorn, Bard and the many others.
