According to Rope of Silicon, "Some good news has arrived as Peter Jackson and Guillermo del Toro have revealed to Empire Magazine news that the upcoming 'The Hobbit' adaptation will still be in two parts, but the second film won’t be used to create a bridge between the story of 'The Hobbit' and the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy.
'We’ve decided to have 'The Hobbit' span the two movies, including the White Council and the comings and goings of Gandalf to Dol Guldur,' Del Toro told Empire.
'We decided it would be a mistake to try to cram everything into one movie,' adds Jackson. 'The essential brief was to do 'The Hobbit,' and it allows us to make 'The Hobbit' in a little more style, if you like, of the [LOTR] trilogy.'
Guillermo del Toro is directing the film with a script cobbled together by Jackson, Del Toro, Philippa Boyens and Fran Walsh based on the classic J.R.R. Tolkien novel. The first film is currently expected to arrive in December of 2011 with the sequel hitting theaters December 2012. Of course, this could all change at anytime."
I'm glad they aren't going to create a new story in-between "The Hobbit" and "Lord of the Rings." Stick with what Tolkien wrote and the movies will probably be just as great as the "Lord of the Rings" movies.
More news to come! Catch ya' later!
