The one director... to rule them all!

Now that poor Pete Jackson has tossed his Hobbit directorship into the fiery chasm of Mount Doom, someone must rise to take his place. And that someone may be Sam Raimi.

Yes, you read that correctly. The maker of classic films such as Army of Darkness and Spider-Man may take it... though he does not know the way. Luckily for him (and everyone else), The Hobbit is decidedly less epic than Lord of the Rings so it should be much easier to adapt. Even so, it will probably be three hours long and cost $200 million to make, given Raimi's track record.

This is assuming that he agrees to take on the project, of course. Liz and Valerie figure that if it was indeed offered to him, he would be a colossal fool to pass on it. Only time will tell. As Boromir says, "It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so small a thing."
