You people are missing a major plot piece here. The rights to the hobbit are owned by a different company. However it looks like there is a good chance that they could end up in the right hands: http://filmforce.ign.com/lotr/articles/531/531520p1.html
Peter Jackson has already said that if New Line can get the rights, he'll make the film. As for King Kong, it's the reason he became a director--so I think we owe it a great debt for giving us such a talented director. I'm going to humor him and give his remake a chance.

Probably the 1st time I've replied to my own post, but I wanted to add a thing or 2 on Ian Holm and Bilbo. He did a fine Bilbo in LOTR, and I almost convinced myself that he'd be the right choice as Bilbo again in The Hobbit. But the more I thought about Bilbo's adventures, the more I struggle w/ the idea of Ian Holm . He just ain't the right age for the part. As I recall, Bilbo does a fair amount of running,thieving, slaying of spiders and riding barrels. While he's not exactly taking on Orcs or Warg riders.well, I guess he does some at the end...he still has a brief encounter w/ a full sized Dragon. So, I guess I'm torn, but leaning more one way than the other.
