While fans at ComicCon will get to see footage from a lot of upcoming films and tv shows, one thing they won’t see is any footage from The Hobbit.
Director Peter Jackson says he doesn’t feel he could give a quality presentation with the footage that’s already been filmed, so he’s foregoing showing off a sneak peek at the highly anticipated prequels.
“New Line and Warner Bros. were very happy to support a presentation, but I declined, simply because I felt it was too early,” Jackson said via Facebook. “There’s so much more of the films still to shoot. I just wanted to get that out there, because I’ve seen various references to the possibility of something Hobbity at Comic Con. Hate to disappoint anyone. But something tells me we will be there in force next year.”
