Peter Jackson Hospitalized, Hobbit Delayed

Source: Variety

 

Several sources are reporting that Peter Jackson - the Oscar-winning filmmaker behind the Lord of the Rings series - has been hospitalized today due to a perforated ulcer, leading to a "slight delay" in the upcoming production of "The Hobbit" films.

A brief statement from Jackson's publicist said:

"Sir Peter Jackson was admitted to Wellington Hospital on Wednesday night with acute stomach pains...he subsequently underwent surgery for a perforated ulcer. Sir Peter is currently resting comfortably and his doctors expect him to make a full recovery. Sir Peter's surgery is not expected to impact on his directing commitment to 'The Hobbit' beyond a slight delay to the start of filming."

 

 

"The Hobbit" - the much anticipated prequel to the Lord of the Rings, was supposed to begin production sometime in February, but will now have to be pushed back slightly as Jackson recovers. As fans of the series may know, this is yet another in a long line of delays for the seemingly cursed production (more about that here, here, and here). Starring Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins and featuring Ian McKellen, Elijah Woods, and Andy Serkis reprising their roles from the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, "The Hobbit" is still slated for release in December 2012 and December 2013.

Frodo apparently only appears at the startand the end, reading what Bilbo has written about in the "There and back again" book.
