It looks like common sense has prevailed and Peter Jackson will be announced the director of The Hobbit movie within a few days.
Also expect it to be announced that The Hobbit will be released as 2 movies, one in 2010 and the second part in 2011. I’ve already reported this info some time a go but it looks like finally being made official any time soon.
What is new information is that MarketSaw (a site dedicated to the art of converting 2D movies into 3D) is reporting that The Hobbit movie is to be shot in 3D as well as 2D and will be re-released in 2012 in 3D AFTER the Lord Of The Rings trilogy has been converted to 3D and done the rounds again.
This makes financial sense as New Line will want to cash in on the massive demand for all things Middle Earth following the release of The Hobbit movie.
