“For MGM, among those is a continuation of Bond and Pink Panther sequels, an announced remake of “Fame” and a not-yet-announced remake of “RoboCop,” possibly in 3-D. “‘RoboCop” would be great in 3-D, as would something we’re hoping to announce soon,” said Parent. This also includes “The Hobbit,” which will be filmed in two parts released in 2011 and 2012, and maybe more after. “There’s 80 years between the end of ‘The Hobbit’ and the beginning of ‘The Lord of the Rings,’” said Sloan. “Think of the franchise.” One other idea MGM was toying with was more “Rocky” films. Parent asked for a show of hands from the audience who might be in to that. Though there were a few very enthusiastic responses, many kept quiet.” More about Hobbit: Movie, Studios Characters of Middle-earth: Bill Ferny

IGN caught up with actress Liv Tyler yesterday in New York City to discuss her new horror film The Strangers, but while we had her pointy Elven ear we just had to ask her about whether or not she’ll be returning to the Lord of the Rings universe as Arwen for the upcoming pair of recently announced Hobbit films. “Somebody just said to me, ‘Has your agent called Peter Jackson yet?’” says the actress with a laugh. “And I was like, ‘Whoa. What are you talking about?’ 
Diedye from our message boards sends this along. Mary Parent was recently quoted about MGM’s upcoming slate. 
The folks from Turbine write: Known for his foul disposition, his rotten manners, and his ill treatment of both animals and people alike, Bill Ferny is considered the “bad apple” of Bree-town. His unsavoury reputation has caused many Bree-folk to shun him. Take a brief look at this scoundrel in this week’s content update! 
Kristin Thompson writes: On Saturday at Cannes, MGM CEO Harry Sloan dropped a couple of interesting remarks about Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, and the Hobbit films. They’re on The Frodo Franchise, along with some links to background on MGM’s role in the production. 
Steven Spielberg and Peter Jackson may go a step further in their plans for three Tintin movies - by jointly directing the third installment. Spielberg raised the possibility before the release of his latest film, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, which had its premiere at the Cannes Film Festival at the weekend. “We are going to make three Tintin movies back-to-back. I’ll direct the first one, Peter will direct the second one. We’ll probably co-direct the third one.” 
Garfeimao writes: I received a rather intriguing email a few weeks ago from someone at WETA. They simply asked for details of when and where the Cruise to Middle-earth took place. When I confirmed that the cruise would have a full day in Wellington, they invited our group for a little visit. When I asked “what do you have in mind?”, the below itinerary is what came out of this discussion.
