'The Hobbit' to be two movies
I've just seen this at Theonering.net. http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=24610
So the whole of 'The Hobbit' is going to span the two proposed movies. My first reaction to this news was regret that there would be no reprisal of Viggo as Aragorn [at least, in this context, I hope there won't be]. But, although that is disappointing in itself, I really don't think stretching a book that is half the size of FOTR over two movies is the greatest of ideas. Only time will tell, I guess.

I'm very disappointed, naturally. I like the Hobbit well enough, but my heart lies with the Dunedain. I was really hoping for a true "bridge" movie. But then again... with the changes they made to the canon, maybe it's best to leave well enough (or poor enough, depending on your point of view about the LOTR movies) alone.
I will miss seeing Viggo as Aragorn, though. *sigh*

I tend to agree it's better to have no movie at all than a bad one but it's still disappointing all the same.

Well, no matter what else goes on from here, at least we had Viggo for the LOTR! :)
