    Too bad it is not going to be directed by jackson he is only producing the movie. :(

    And why are they making it into two movies instead of one? I did not remember that much happening in the hobbit... it has been 15 years or so since i read it though

    That's what Hollywood do. They make as many seuels, adaptations and remakes as possible, with as little plot as possible, for as much money as possible.

    I also remember it being quite boring compared to LOTRs too.

    Sorry, but this is like saying Michael Stipe made "Velvet Goldmine" or that Tom Cruise made "The Others".

    Being the executive producer means nothing as far as input, quality, or content of the film.

    It is good news. Too bad we have to wait till 2010 to see the first installment. Hopefully they will get someone good to direct now.

    i caught that too... so weird. god knows the whole book could be done in one. maybe he wants to try making a middle-earth movie that's not 3 hours long for once though?

    Lots of Producers are extremely hands on, some Produce, write and direct. Tim Burton didn't direct The Nightmare Before Christmas, but he wrote and produced it, and that is definitly a "Tim Burton" movie.

    Maybe you should do some homework yourself.

    what?? :eek: I loved lord of the rings!! all three!!

    EDIT: and he will be the EXECUTIVE producer, executive producers are generally very involved in the process and final outcome!! There are many examples, Tim Burton is one of them as someone said, also Bruckheimer, Spielberg, Cloony…

    i dont like the idea of two movies. i cant see them making it longer than 3 and half hours so we'll probably get two one hour and half movies which equal double ticket sales. for lord of the rings he took 4 books and made three movies. now he is taking one book and making 2? i think this is all about money.

    but ill be there opening night

    LOTR was three books.

    I do question the need for two movies for the hobbit though

    You can easily make the Hobbit into two movies. If you include the White Council's attack on Dol Goldur in Mirkwood Forest, which is only mentioned in passing in the book, that would add a whole other story line to the movie and you would have enough material for two movies. Even though it wasn't extensively covered in the novel the White Council's attack on Dol Goldur is an important part of the story and helps to set the stage for Lord of the Rings.

    That's going to be some bridge movie. Isn't there like some 60 years between The Hobbit and the beginning of the Lord of the Rings.

    I wonder the film will consist of. No major event happened during that time frame, no major wars. If anything he should make a film about the Last Alliance of Elves and Men. If you can't tell I'm a huge LoTR geek. I love Tolkien's work. I've read The Hobbit, LoTR, The Children of Húrin, and the Silmarilian.
