Hobbit movie news

(via A Dribble of Ink)

Empire have posted some tidbits of movie news about The Hobbit. BAsically the book we all know and love will be split into two films:

“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,” says Del Toro.

“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.”

So no all new bridging film which will make Tolkien purists happy – I would have been sort of interested to see what they came up with.
