Question Are they filming "The Hobbit"?

As per title really. I heard they were going to, it'd probably make a better film than LOTR, (many more adventures in a shorter book), but haven't heard owt, and don't know where to look.
Anyone?

I think theres been some dispute as to who actually owns the rights for the film, so until thats sorted it wont get made.

Im sure it will happen eventually though, with Peter Jackson directing and a big budget its sure to be great.

No mention of Ian McKellen filming it on imdb, and no mention of Peter Jackson writing a screenplay or producing/directing.

I have heard rumours in the past though.

Alice Seebold's 'The Lovely Bones' is a radical departure for Jackson but it's a great story.
Hopefully, he'll do The Hobbit after that, in 2007.

- as per the IMDB website, next up from Peter Jackson is an animated version of the computer game 'Halo', followed by 'The Lovely Bones' .....

... no mention of the Hobbit apart from wranglings about ownership rights.
