I would be rather sad not to see Jackson make the Hobbit film(s). But I must say that I deplore New Line's tactics in using the opportunity as an attempt to force the settlement of the royalties dispute. And Jackson is quite right that, had he agreed to that, it would have been completely the wrong basis upon which to go ahead with the project.
