I do wonder how old that site and campaign is though, since the response from New Line states that Peter Jackson is totally occupied with King Kong at the moment, and is likely to be so for the next 24 months.

It clearly isn't current.

Maybe he's doing Son of Kong next or...(gulp) King Kong Lives.

I wouldn't mind if he decided to redo King Kong Vs Godzilla. Imagine of freakin' intense those fights would be!

Last I read, Jackson is producing a Halo movie sometime in the near future.

I am kind of burned out on LotR.

I had the same thoughts. And I then decided it did not matter if the site had not been updated. We know the film has not been made yet, so the information is still valid.

Besides, there is no time limit to this kind of thing. In theory the campaign wont end until the film gets made. Anyhow, maybe a few more letters would swing the balance - who knows?

I do think it matters if the site is not updated, e.g. the addresses might not work anymore, the persons in charge may have changed, etc.
And of course, an isolated postcard will do little, it's when they pour in noticeably and continuously that things might happen.

If you check their mailing list archives < http://www.thehobbitfilm.com/pipermail/hobbit_announce/ > it seems that the campaign has been dead for a long time...

I do recognize something quite good about this campaign as compared to typical ones: they do ask for physical postcards/letters to be sent ( that online petitions work is nothing but an internet legend ).

But if the people behind the campaign don't bother to update the page I won't assume that the campaign is ongoing... and I don't care enough about this to email them and ask what's up.
