The Hobbit Part One lands in cinemas in December. A year later part two will arrive. And then the third movie will arrive in 2014. Yup, a third movie. Peter Jackson feels it necessary to do a third movie due “to the richness” of the story in The Hobbit as well as some of the related material in the appendices of The Lord of the Rings, allows us to tell the full story of the adventures of Bilbo Baggins and the part he played in the sometimes dangerous, but at all times exciting, history of Middle-earth.” So there! Words from the man himself, or well what he wrote on his facebook page.
So, how do you feel about that? Are all things Tolkein being milked for all their worth? Or is a third movie the way forward and something that you’ll eagerly anticipate? Comments as usual in the comments section below. Either way it shows a huge dedication on Jacksons’ behalf as well as a leap of financial faith on Warner Bros.
