I was under the assumption that they shot alot of the Hobbit already whilst shooting the trilogy using the original actors. Must of been a rumor i read somewhere.
I hope he nails Gallipoli as well. Considering the subject it could be a fairly easy film to make, or a daunting task. Depending on how one looks at it/goes about it.
As far as WWI goes id personally would love to see a trench warfare movie made with todays effects and equipment. It would be an awesome spectacle to behold if done by a compitent and historicly accurate minded director such as the above mentioned Jackson or say Clint Eastwood.
