The Hobbit is getting made.
The Hobbit follows the journey of Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor, which was conquered by the dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of 13 dwarves led by the legendary warrior Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey will take them into the wild; through treacherous lands swarming with goblins and orcs, deadly wargs and giant spiders, shapeshifters and sorcerers and ultimately Baggins' meeting with Gollum, where he gains possession of Gollum's "precious" ring, the simple gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-Earth.

Bollocks.
Isn't The Hobbit shorter than either of the LotR parts?
It's obvious:
Two movies =
2x $$ at the theatre
2x $$ at DVD/BluRay release
2x $$ at Director's Cut release
edit: Also, skinny Peter Jackson is encouraging in that the dude has his health under control. However, I see him and still don't realize it's him for a minute. He looks so crazy different.
As does the Battle of the Four Armies.
As might Bilbo's encounter with Gollum and finding the ring.

Will this be a musical? Because I really want to see 13 dwarves singing about wrecking up Bilbo's hobbit hole.
Now I can't get the Bilbo Baggins song out of my head. Thanks
Now I will accept nothing else.
I heard awhile ago that Guillermo Del Toro helped work on the design for Smaug as well.
Not sure how true it is, but if both of these facts are true I'm expecting perfection.
he helped work on a lot of the designs, the question is if PJ is gonna use any of them
John-Rhys Davies for Smaug. I will defend that pick until death!

The bravest little hobbit of them all!

Also, David Warner would make a pretty great Smaug.
When I was little and read The Hobbit for the first time I would try to make up a tune for all the songs Tolkien included throughout the story.
I still do this.
Kind of hoping the big angry boasting session will still be there in some form.
what about those reports of them shoehorning in a bunch of LOTR cameos.
The ones that sound tasteful and don't intrude on the main narrative?
Legolas is the only other one you could consider being shoehorned but every report suggests it's brief.
Also goddamn, has it really been twelve years?
I find this terrifying
Beyond that, I've seen two of his other movies, Heavenly Creatures and the King Kong remake. Both were bad, but King Kong especially was an abomination. Just terrible. So I'm not thrilled that he's back on board for the Hobbit; I'd much have preferred Guillermo del Toro's take on it (even if it would inevitably have given me nightmares). Hopefully it'll play out along the same lines as the LotR movies - good in spite of him.
I... that remark is just
Not going there
