It's official!

It's official! The Hobbit will be a trilogy! Source. And I for one could not be happier about it. I love the LotR movies and when it comes to Tolkien, I trust Jackson implicitly. If he thinks this is the best way to go, then it's the best way to go!

And if I see one more person piss and moan about it, I will kick their sorry little ass. Have these people who complain about one book being turned into a trilogy even read "The Hobbit"? Gandalf disappears half-way through, we never see the White Council, we never see the battle against the Necromancer and the Battle of Five armies is only 15 pages or so long, for Christ's sake! Tolkien wasn't exactly known for going into detail. And if you add the 125 pages of LotR appendices that should bridge the gap between The Hobbit and Fellowship of the Ring, people still don't think there's material enough for 3 movies? And what's that nonsense about it being just about money? The DIRECTOR asked for another movie for creative reasons, it wasn't the studio's demand. Of course the studio will be happy to earn more money but this time it was the creator who asked for this. Hail and thunder on these small-minded, angry, judgmental people!
