thanks for that link to upcoming films. Several look very good to me including SHERLOCK HOLMES, PUBLIC ENEMIES and WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE. It should be an interesting year in film.

As far as Warners in money difficulties, that is undeniable. But I think HOBBIT is pretty much a sure bet and they will not pass it up.... or if they had to there would be no lack of interest elsewhere with its huge potential of revenue.

But the question is not whether it will will be made, but when it will be released - will it be delayed so as not to clash with other big movies (or maybe till the economic climate picks up to ensure a bigger box office & more income from tie-ins) - & whether they will continue with their plan of a 'faithful' adaptation of TH for movie one, or whether they will go for a more 'commercial' movie which brings in much of the stuff they've been talking about holding back for movie 2?

Late 2011 or even 2012 is a long way away. Economic times could change quite a bit by that time. But we shall see. Patience is a virtue.
