In the latest comment in the controversy surrounding a proposed movie based on J.R.R. Tolkien's
The Hobbit, New Line head Robert Shaye told SCI FI Wire in no uncertain terms that the studio won't work with
Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson on that film or any other film. Ever. At least not as long as Shaye is in charge.
Shaye's comments marked the first time a New Line executive has commented publicly on the fracas since Jackson announced
that he has pulled out of the project and also appears to harden New Line's position against Jackson.
"I do not want to make a movie with somebody who is suing me," Shaye - New Line's chief executive officer - said in an interview on Jan. 5 while promoting
The Last Mimzy, a New Line family fantasy that marks his first time in a director's chair since 1990's
Book of Love. "It will never happen during my watch."
Jackson had told
TheOneRing.net in November that he and partner Fran Walsh were bowing out after New Line, which produced the
Rings films and has production rights to
The Hobbit, told them the studio was moving ahead with the project without them. Jackson has said he won't discuss
The Hobbit until a lawsuit against New Line over
Rings accounting practices was settled.

Variety reports Rob Cohen is in talks with Universal Pictures to take the reins on a third edition of its Mummy franchise.
Not much has been disclosed about the story crafted for Mummy 3 by scribes Alfred Gough and Miles Millar, but the pic has been in active development for about a year as Universal looks to keep one of its remaining franchises up and running.
Though no deals are in place for franchise stars Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz to return, both thesps have had discussions about reprising their roles.
