<p>After catching up with Galadriel (Cate Blanchett) and Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen), MTV continues its pursuit of Middle-earth's heroes to find out what they have say on the current PJ-NL-Hobbit situation.</p>
<p>Today MTV catches up with Samwise Gamgee, timelessly true to his character, who tells us that he never once gave up hope on 'The Hobbit'.</p>
<p><em>“I’ve said since before we started making the movies and have never wavered for a second that ‘The Hobbit’ would get made,”.</em></p>
<p>And though the timeline of 'The Hobbit' places itself before the birth of Sam, Sean Astin remains hopeful:</p>
<p><em>“But obviously Peter is so creative that he can find a way to connect that character if he wanted to. He knows that anytime, anywhere, he could just make a phone call or send an email and I’d get on a plane and go anywhere he wanted me to.”</em></p>
