Peter Jackson to film The Hobbit

If they feel they need to split it into two movies, that doesn't bode well for Jackson avoiding the bloat of the last two movies for LotR. The Hobbit is a relatively simple, straightforward story. Nothing other than continuing the need to include absolutely everything (or at least reference it as a commercial for the 14-hour extended DVD version) would require 5-6 hours of movie.

But the man did manage to make King Kong into a 3-hour movie.
