Jackson recently talked to Speakeasy via phone from New Zealand, where he’s currently in pre-production on “The Hobbit,” for which he’s just delivered the latest draft of the script to the studio (”They seem to be happy with it”). And yes, has already begun shooting material for the eventual DVD and Blu-ray release. “We’ve been filming DVD material for about a year,” Jackson said of “The Hobbit,” which he’s executive-producing and co-scripting. “[Director] Guillermo [del Toro] has been doing location scouts and design work, with the DVD people following him around, so we’ve shot 20 or 30 hours of DVD material so far and we’re still a few months away from the first day of shooting.”

This does not really surprise me yet is this perhaps a sign to the potential MGM bidders that the future is very bright indeed

If Jackson is really involved with the Hobbit, my expectations have gone up 100%.
