It would be nice if it were not an April fools jokes, but I think it is. Under a search of Google news I found no further information, which leads me to suspect that most news corporations know that it is a hoax or at least cannot confirm it. Furthermore, if New Line did finally obtain the rights to The Hobbit, I cannot see them choosing anyone besides Peter Jackson to direct it, even if PJ is currently engrossed in King Kong.
