'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.

This such disapointing news. Thank Goodness we can write our stories to fill in those years, but I was so hoping for more Aragorn in the new film and maybe more Aragorn fans for our stories.

Yes it would have been nice to have a few new scenes to enjoy. As you say, we'll just have to write our own.
