Ah, they're really going to do it, then! That's excellent; I always wanted Peter Jackson to work on The Hobbit. I can't wait. XD

It's been a constant fight of "will they won't they." Like watching Ranma. Glad to see that Ranma (new Line) and Akane (jackson) finally get together in the end.

My friend and I have been waiting years for this to happen, Im sure the movie will be awesome. And we're both definetly going to see this.

I heard rumors about that a couple of months ago...

I'm glad that this will be happening after all. I'm dragging my friend to see it when it comes out God-willing, hehe.

If Beorn's not in it, I'm walking.

Ah, so it finally is coming out. I wouldn't mind seeing it.

As much as I'd like to see the bear party scene, if I had to guess, I'd say it won't make the cut. He probably *could* do it well, but you can't release a 12 hour movie these days.

It will be two movies, last I heard. That fact surprised me, given that the Hobbot is significantly shorter than Lord of the Rings. We might expect a great deal of battle, then, which I am willing to forgive if they keep the less-subtle things Gandalf does.

If you ask me, it makes even less sense to turn The Hobbit into two movies than it would to put the entire Lord of the Rings into one movie. What's the point of splitting a story like The Hobbit into two movies?!

Smaug will be an interesting challenge to create.

It almost sounds too good to be true! But I am happy to hear it, nonetheless! And I know some friends who will be thrilled as well.

They better not make Smaug look cheesy like the made the dragons look in the horribly made/acted/directed/written Eragon movie they made! Or I shall be angry.

I sense a disturbance in the force. As though threads are crossing over.

As though dozens (eh, maybe hundreds) of fanboys cried out and were suddenly trolled...

Hardly crossing over, but that was the only movie I could think of in which the dragons looked stupid. So, sorry. But yeah....

Well you gotta remember, this is Peter Jackson we're talking about here. He's incapable of making anything that isn't epic anymore. He stretched King Kong out to 3 hours for gosh sakes. As for the LotR movies, each one was slightly longer than the last (especially the extended editions). I wouldn't be at all surprised if he divided The Hobbit into two films of maybe just shy of 2 hours each. Which I'd be fine with, so long as the first one doesn't end on some abrupt, jumpy "cliffhanger" like movies in certain other series.

I wouldn't walk, but I hear you. One thing they'd better not do is put Aragorn in it. I will have a cow.

So Peter Jackson's directing? I thought they weren't going to let him, the last time I heard, anyways...

But still, I'd like to see what they do with this, considering the cartoon drove me a little crazy ("the gre-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-eatist adve-e-e-e-e-e-e-enture..." I mean, come on...that was waaaaay too much vibrato from the singer, and the song popped up almost every 10 minutes or so...so what if I'm exaggerating?).

I liked some of the songs from the cartoon, but I REALLY liked hearing Rob Inglis narrate the "book on CD" that I have.

As an aside, that made an EXCELLENT way to pass the time on my trip across the country.

I was hoping they would do this. With Peter Jackson directing, it's going to be awesome! ^.^/

They should get James Earl Jones to do the voice of Smaug!

lol there is going to be two movies? odd but then a lot happens in the book. lol i wonder if they are going to include the big tea party at Bibilo's house! (sorry if I spelt his name wrong haven't read the book in 2 years)

Maybe this time, I can watch the movie and then read the book so I'm not nit-picking for changes all the way through.

Smaug: Bilbo! *I* am your father!
Bilbo: Dude, you can *SO* only play one part, huh?

cool, this ones going to feature a dragon right? Aweesoomme

Right, and they'll have an actor in a dragon suit. Then obsessive fanboys can argue for decades hence over which one was the "TRUE SMAUG."

We need a "rollling" emoticon.

*Dances* yayayayayayaya hobbit movie!

So...is Peter Jackson not directing the movie? 'Cause I just saw today on mugglenet.com that apparently Guillermo Del Toro (whoever he is) is directing it. (Relevance to mugglenet - he was rumored to be directing the seventh Harry Potter movie, but would be "too busy" because he's directing The Hobbit.)
