Well, shit. Unlike the Wolverine movie, I might actually have to see this.

Like, seriously, totally unexpected to see this from Hollywood.

This is the saddest news.

Man, I was looking forward to his version so much.

EDIT: A deeper exploration of the financial issues troubling MGM that have led to the prolonged delay in a greenlight for the Hobbit films.

I'm going to go ahead and assume that First Class absorbs X-Men Origins: Magneto into itself as well so we won't have to be subjected to two of these movies.

Hopefully Jackson will decide to come back and direct The Hobbit now if they can't find a competent replacement for Del Toro, as a producer and screen writer I'm under the impression he'd have to put a bunch of time into it anyway, might as well direct.

Ooh, which means Jared Hess won't be directing the latter, as was long rumored. I'm for it!

Well, except for he's flat out said he won't be directing--both because he has other projects lined up, and because he didn't want to "compete against himself" re: LotR. Not that it's impossible he might change his mind, but it's not looking that way right now.

I dunno, I was under the impression that at least one producer of films is always pretty closely involved with the director in the directorial process, I guess it would take up less time than directing because you aren't there everyday filming but it seems like it still takes a big chunk of your time up.

And whatever the ability of people to get one film involving Atlas Shrugged into theaters, I seriously doubt their ability to get four films into theaters if the creation of the second through fourth requires a good showing of the first. If they manage to get a good adaptation of Blood Meridian filmed, I'll say Atlas Shrugged has a chance, but thinking that audiences of any caliber, I don't care how hardcore Rand fans they are, want to sit through 4 movies worth of Atlas Shrugged is crazy.

Unless they introduce radioactive mutant alligators into the plot, of course.

"We’re shooting it because it’s a good movie with great characters."

Does he mean it's a good book with great characters, or is there already a screenplay or something that he is referring to, or what? And does he find good book synonymous with good story suitable for film or...? Does Atlas Shrugged have a plot that lends itself well to film? Film is all about action, there is not a lot of room for philosophizing, even if you are Steven Seagal. It's been proven!

"Polk said that the idea of cutting through the bureaucracy and just getting started is consistent with the book's themes of capitalism and taking entrepreneurial risk."

Lawl. Wouldn't want an endgame to shoot for before getting started! I see failure for this project's final culmination before it even begins.

Wellp, here you go:

"If that's what I have to do to protect Warner Bros' investment, then obviously that's one angle which I'll explore," he said. But stepping in as director would be difficult as he had signed writer and director contracts with Hollywood studios for two other films, with one likely to begin next year. "The other studios may not let me out of the contracts."
Regarding Donald Glover as Spider-Man: I think that's a fascinating idea! Might give the movie the edge it needs to quickly differentiate itself from Raimi's bloated outings in the public eye.

Then again, at one point Colin Salmon was up for the role of James Bond, and Hollywood shot that down pretty fast... I fear they're still too much entrenched in the "moviegoers only want white male leads" ideology.

Well, that and I can imagine a lot of complaining and outrage from inflexible minds in the fandom.
