Jackson has had discussions about the filming rights with the Tolkien estate and it seems that it could actually happen.

Could be great, could be awful, depending if it would go the LOTR or The Hobbit way.

Do you know of a good fan edit of the hobbit?

The M4 book edit. Tries to stick to the book as close as possible, trimming the 3 movies into one 4hr long movie (he even replaced Bard's son with a wooden beam in the scene where Smaug is killed). Also adds an extra of some of the cut out stuff gandalf does.
