Peter Jackson to film The Hobbit

Why split it into two movies? I don't get it.

In a way, I'm glad he's overseeing. The LotR films looked great. But, by and large, they sucked. I'll never understand how a film that was not shot in sequence could have ended up going from great to horrible in such a steady chronological decline.

I had hoped with the much smaller canvas of The Hobbit, a much tighter, single movie could be made.


Eh, we'll see.



I wonder how Jackson and New Line patched things up. Curious that it was the one good film of the three that was the sticking point Jackson was getting financially ripped off on. I thought the other two, far worse movies, each made more money. I wonder why the first one, the good one, the lowest-grossing one, was the one with the tricksey Hollywood accounting problems.
