Hobbit Movie in 3-4 Years

Peter Jackson has gone on record that he thinks it will take 3-4 years before the Hobbit movie is made. The reasons for the delay are the co-owners of the rights MGM and New Line are going through issues. MGM is in the process of being sold to Sony and New Line is getting sued by Peter Jackson.

I hope all these lawsuits and buyouts won't delay a re-visiting of the Lord of the Rings universe any more than it has to. They also better not use someone else than Jackson himself.
