Just found The Hobbit is going to be a two part movie! This may be old news to some but I'm excited as a closet nerd. That this happening!

I'd be interested in that myself. The last time I saw it was in 1977 I think......on the TV.

cANT WAIT, ITS GOING TO BE EPIC. It being a 2 part movie also makes me really happy, at the very least it means that they will have more time to keep true to the book instead of crammiong it all in

I'm really looking forward to it!
Read the Hobbit and other Lord Of the Rings books to my son when he was young and we saw all three of the movies together. It was great father/son bonding experience for us! Now that he is 20 he may not want to be seen with his old man at the theater but I am going to invite him anyways.

Agreed, save the part about you being closeted!
Yeah, I've been pretty stoked about these! I think the coolest part is, the 2nd movie will also address some of the events that took place in the 70 or so years between the events of the Hobbit, and Fellowship of the Ring (books).
There was a very long drawn out drama that took place surrounding trying to make these movies. Peter Jackson was NOT originally a director. Google about it all. Pretty drawn out affair. But once Jackson took over, it's been speeding by. He should have been at the helm from the beginning.

Yeah Pete Jackson doesn't hold back when it comes to LOTR. Quality and consistency will remain intact, you can take that to the bank. Also with his track record there will be extended version that later will come out on DVD so for some of us "hardcore" folk will be dieing to see the extra footage.
With the LOTR franchise holding some pretty amazing film records I think these two films will be done amazingly. I hope the LOTR collection will reach 25 oscars total. That would be an accomplishment. I believe the trilogy already has 16 or 17.

I also appreciate the fact that Jackson doesn't treat his diehard LOTR fans like shit the way Lucas does. Jackson came out with them as regular releases. Then came out with a extended edition. Then blu-ray, and finally a blu-ray extended that had everything. Lucas just puts little bits here and there and then releasing new editions with shit that should have been in the releases before it.
