Although critically considered to be inferior to The Lord of the Rings, it was nominated for various awards and won several, though not as many as its predecessor.[6][7][8]Development[edit]First stages of development[edit]Jackson and Walsh originally expressed interest in filming The Hobbit in 1. The Lord of the Rings). Frustration arose when Jackson's producer, Harvey Weinstein, discovered that Saul Zaentz had production rights to The Hobbit, but that distribution rights still belonged to United Artists (which had kept those rights, believing that filmmakers would prefer to adapt The Hobbit rather than The Lord of the Rings).[1.

The United Artists studio and its parent corporation Metro- Goldwyn- Mayer was for sale in 2. Weinstein's attempts to buy the movie rights from the studio were unsuccessful. Weinstein asked Jackson to press on with adapting The Lord of the Rings. Ultimately, The Lord of the Rings was produced by New Line Cinema, not the Weinsteins, and their rights to film The Hobbit were set to expire in 2. In September 2. 00.

Metro- Goldwyn- Mayer expressed interest in teaming up with New Line and Jackson to make The Hobbit.[1. In March 2. 00. 5, Jackson launched a lawsuit against New Line, claiming he had lost revenue from merchandising, video and computer games releases associated with The Fellowship of the Ring.[1. He did not seek a specific settlement, but requested an audit to see whether New Line had withheld money owed him.[1.

Although Jackson wanted it settled before he would make the film,[1. New Line would still let him make The Hobbit.[1. New Line co- founder Robert Shaye was annoyed with the lawsuit and said in January 2. Jackson would never again direct a film for New Line, accusing him of being greedy.[1.

MGM boss Harry Sloan halted development, as he wanted Jackson to be involved.[1. By August, after a string of flops, Shaye tried to repair his relationship with the director.

He said, "I really respect and admire Peter and would love for him to be creatively involved in some way in The Hobbit."[1. The following month, New Line was fined $1.

On 1. 6 December 2. New Line and MGM announced that Jackson would be executive producer of The Hobbit and its sequel.

The two studios would co- finance the film and the latter studio (via 2. Century Fox) would distribute the film outside North America—New Line's first ever such deal with another major studio.[1.

Each film's budget was estimated at US$1. US$9. 4 million budget for each of the films in Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy. After completion of the merger of New Line Cinema with Warner Bros. February 2. 00. 8, the two parts were announced as scheduled for release in December 2.

Producer Mark Ordesky, the executive producer of The Lord of the Rings, planned to return to supervise the prequels.[2. Jackson explained he chose not to direct because it would have been unsatisfying to compete with his previous films.[2. In February 2. 00. Tolkien Estate (through The Tolkien Trust, a British charity) and Harper. Collins Publishers filed a suit against New Line for breach of contract and fraud and demanded $2. The Lord of the Rings trilogy. The suit claimed New Line had only paid the Estate an upfront fee of $6.

The suit claimed the Estate was entitled to 7. Tolkien films, as established by prior deals. The suit also sought to block the filming of The Hobbit. The suit was settled in September 2. However the Tolkien Trust's 2. New Line Cinema of £2. US$3. 8 million).

This amount was the Trust's estimated share in respect of the gross profit participation due for the films based on "The Lord of the Rings".[2. Christopher Tolkien said: "The trustees regret that legal action was necessary but are glad that this dispute has been settled on satisfactory terms that will allow the Tolkien Trust properly to pursue its charitable objectives. The trustees acknowledge that New Line may now proceed with its proposed film of The Hobbit."[2.

Development with del Toro[edit]Guillermo del Toro was originally set to direct the film, but left because of ongoing delays. Jackson stated that del Toro's "creative DNA" would remain in the scripts and designs. Despite the legal suits, development proceeded and in April 2.

Guillermo del Toro was hired to direct the film. Del Toro has said he was a fan of Jackson's trilogy and had discussed directing a film adaptation of Halo with him in 2.

Though that project stalled, they kept in contact.[2. In a 2. 00. 6 interview, del Toro was quoted saying "I don't like little guys and dragons, hairy feet, hobbits, [..] I don't like sword and sorcery, I hate all that stuff".[2. After he signed on to direct in April 2. Del Toro posted on The.

By De. Wayne G. Guyton. About 5 months ago, Robert Mallory set out to improve the Stonewall Volunteer Fire Department located in the Canaan Community of Fayette County.  At that time, they were operating with a 1. Their main pumper was a 1. Ford that only pumped from one side and had constant transmission issues along with a water leak that forbid holding more than one half tank of water.

Mallory began sending out letters using a boundary from Nashville, TN to New Orleans, La to Mobile, Al and getting nowhere quickly.  One day, he decided to focus on the larger cities here in Alabama to see what was available. Birmingham, Huntsville, Tuscaloosa, Montgomery and Mobile had nothing in surplus. Frustrated at the amount of work being placed and going nowhere, Mallory remembered he'd forgotten one particular Alabama City.. Decatur. He sent an email to the Mayor, Tab Bolling who then forwarded the email to the Decatur City Fire Cheif, Tony Grande. Mallory was then informed there was, indeed, a truck that had been taken out of service and was being held in surplus. Grande was open about other departments who'd inquired about purchasing the vehicle for their own departments.

Mallory informed Grande that Stonewall VFD was a small rural department with very little cash and pleaded with him the possibility of the City of decatur donating the apparatus. Over a period of 4 months, Mallory remained in tough with Grande and Bolling and even sent letters to the Decatur City Council pleading with them to help Stonewall Volunteer Fire Department, who was struggling to keep their community Fire Department alive and running. The Decatur City Council held a vote on May 1st to decide which city would receive the$5. May 2nd, Robert Mallory received the news of a unanimous vote, 5- 0, in favor of Stonewall Volunteer Fire Department recieving the truck as a donation to help the Canaan Comunity ine keeping them safe as well as seeing a reduction in their home insurance by living in a community that is now up to par on Fire Safety. Mallory and other members of the Stonewall Volunteer Fire Department made the trip the following Thursday to meet with the Fire Officials and the City Council to take ownership of their new fire truck.
