There is absolutely no proof whatsoever that jackson lied when he released his statement about why he won't be involved in the hobbit. None whatsoever. John decided he was lying and that was that. one of the big "lies" john hated about that press release was jacksons claim that he didn't know new line were under such a tight deadline. At the time new line claimed they only had until the end of that year to make a deal or they lost the film...Jackson said he did not know that. And you know why I believe jackson now.... because I find it a little weird that it was more than a year later that they finally got the production together and the still have the rights. Looks like the dead line wasn't as tight as new line made out. Hhmm..maybe they lied? I know that would be unlike a studio to do as they are alway completely above board. Anyway....as you say its old news now..it just bugs me when you guys have no proof that he was lying other than johns odd take on the news.

He did something to lose respect from some of his most devoted fans (I am still one of them) but he hasn't appeared to since. Which was exactly my point.

Still feels a bit over blown to call the man a lying weasel and to loose "all respect" for him. That settles it then.

That was annoying enough because as you admitted the fans would want it sooner than later. The reason people were pissed at him is that he lied and said NewLine wouldnt make a deal with him and that he wasnt responsible for the delays. He also claimed he didn't know that NewLine was on a deadline to lose the rights. He knew all along and it wasn't that he was delaying, it was that he was feeding the fanbase lines to look innocent while he deliberately delayed the Hobbit. He lied for money and tagged along his most loyal fans in the process. Gut, the point wasnt that he delayed the movie.

He would then most likely get the rights himself so he could work with people that didn't try to steal his money. Am I getting the gist of it? Don't see how people would lose all respect for the man because of that. Did people really feel that Jackson somehow owed them a Hobbit film right away?

I only mentioned it in the article to illustrate that I actually respect Jackson for making this current stand against one of his Art Directors and that past opinions against him for past actions were not affecting my call on this.

I still do not for the life of me understand what he did to be called a lying weasel. But all of that aside gosling was not dropped because he put on weight for another role. they came to the decision together. But as for this lovely bones story...the art director is there to serve the director vision so it can in no way shape or form be "jacksons" fault. The directors vision is final especially a director like jackson. Hes hardly a studio hired chump doing hack pay jobs. but again the movie blogs dislike of jackson has always puzzled me I have always felt that the movie blogs dislike of jackson all of a sudden was incredibly odd.

Woah what. No he put the pounds on to look older, but in the end they both mututally agreed he couldn't pull off the older look. There is no bad blood there as far as I'm aware. @John
