That's certainly exciting news! It seems nothing is certain yet, but Peter Jackson definitely wants to make a third movie, so let's us hope he will be allowed to!

The Hobbit, Part 3?
http://blogs.indiewire.com/theplayli...5#.UAYVzLRWq8A
It's more than a rumor, from PJ's own self. He wants to film three months more worth of footage, possibly just for the extended version, but there's always the possibility of it being an entire other film. Read the article!

I thought it was splitting threads that was hard work

Dude, what could they possibly want to shoot so desperately that they're thinking of needing three movies for it all?
I'm all for more Hobbit. But the more movies there will be, the less Hobbit will be in it, I can't help but think.

I hope they mean it as a chance to shoot more LotR Appendices stuff. Which could be good. If they shoot Tolkien stuff, I mean ...

That last caveat is what I worry about the most. The Appendices don't really have a narrative, which means a lot will have to be made up to connect the parts.
And I do wonder whether three movies won't be overkill. Sure, the parallel with the loTR-trilogy is alluring. But two trilogies didn't work all that well for Lucas either.

And what Earn says is exactly right: the more movie, the less Hobbit. *shakes head* I couldn't have imagined this happening, even after learning there would be two films.

Any ideas as to the what the third movie will be called?
According to hearsay, two possible names are The Hobbit: Riddles in the Dark and The Hobbit: Desolation of Smaug.

There and Back Again seems like an obvious choice, if you ask me.

... which is already the name of the second part of the trilogy, so it seems taken already.

Well... maybe. But it'd be daft of them not to think about shuffling movie titles about if they go from two to three movies. If I go with the assumption that the new third movie will be the last one narratively, then There and Back Again is a better title for the last movie, since both the riddles- and the dragon-scenes ought to have been dealth with by then.

I agree that they must have been shuffling the names around.

Well, Father Roderick of SQPN.Com came up with the best title I've heard yet: "Butter Scraped Over Too Much Bread."

I'm excited about the prospect of an interim movie - it might be nice if they included some of the pre-Hobbit stuff too, like Gandalf meeting up with Thorin, etc.
However, if they are going to break the book up even further (which will also open up the possibility for MORE straying from canon), I would rather just have the current setup.

They probably just like the idea of another trilogy. I mean, what do you call two movies? A duo-gy?

A Trilogy now with incorporation and expansion of the stories in the Appendices as backdrop to the Hobbit. It could be done well. We shall see.
AND NEVER EVER FORGET that they make more MONEY that way! Three times as much! Cleverly dragonish of them!
