I'm the industry expert? Me, who from Philly forgot about Smith's Production company? I do not think so. Thanks though. I really do not know how they got together. I think if we fans were not so hungry for more of the the magic that Jackson created with the Lord of the Ring series. Since the Hobbit is part of the same world he created with the Lord of the Ring series, we can't bear the thought of someone else doing it. I think if Raimi and Jackson were teaming up for something else, prior to his Spidey 3 debacle, we would be extremely excited. Separate from the Hobbit project, I think they make an intriguing combination. They could make great movies together
