No matter how stupid we all think he is. While I respect the man's integrity for trying to protect his father's legacy. I just think that the current crop and certainly future generations of fan would only benefit from Jackson doing The Hobbit.
Then I read this:

“I never saw the films as a threat and I’ve enjoyed the movies for what they are, but I crossed my father on a Tolkien issue and if you’re after someone who can explain the estate’s attitude, I can’t. I’m cut off,” said 44-year-old Simon, who is legally barred from discussing the family’s inner workings. “I haven’t spoken to my father except in an annual business meeting context for the past four years. He communicates with me now through his lawyer ... he will never speak to me again as long as he lives, he will never see my children and will never have anything to do with me.”

And I think....Gawddamn, what an ass. He is 77 years old. Maybe by the time they get around to wanting to film The Hobbit he'll have passed on and left the decision to someone with sense.
