Peter Jackson will do Hobbit!

[Deathcricket]

Hey guys just heard on the radio that Peter Jackson will do the Hobbit! Not only one more movie but 2! The only thing that sucks is the movies will probably be a year apart and the suspense will kill me.

I imagine he will have an unlimited budget also for special effects "my precious".

If anyone finds "official" links let me know :)

That is great news. I loved what he did with LOTR. I even like that there will be two movies because that means more of the book will make it into the movie.

"Peter Jackson, New Line Cinema, and MGM have agreed to work on two new movies: a film adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's 'The Hobbit', and a further sequel. From the article: 'The two Hobbit films ... are scheduled to be shot simultaneously, with pre-production beginning as soon as possible. Principal photography is tentatively set for a 2009 start, with the intention of 'The Hobbit' release slated for 2010 and its sequel the following year, in 2011.'"

ouch.....
