After the best trilogy of all time the Hobbit movie is coming in two versions. The first will be directed by Guillermo del Toro and it will be presented in 2010! The other film will be directed by Peter Jackson and it will be presented in 2011. On both films the directors are going to cooperate for the best result. Ian Mcellen has agreed to play Gandalf once again as many other actors too. The films are going to be made in New Zealand as the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.Also the two directors and hundreds of other members and producers have already left for New Zealand. Metro Goldwyn Mayer(MGM) will have the rights of the movie. For more information, about the hobbit movie and everything related to Tolkien and the Lord of the Rings visit

Take notice of the fact that Peter Jackson is directing and Guillermo del Toro is producing. Not two films. So, if there's a rebuttal I want to know, because otherwise this is a misunderstood forum.
No, precious! They will ruins it. Shred it to pieces yesss, they will...
NO! Peter Jackson is our friend! Give Toro a chance, he is a good man, nice man...
But he hasssn't worked on a LotR film before, precious. He can't be trusted, no.
How does it know he can't be trusted unless we lets him try? Perhaps he will gives us a strong role in his movie and gives us pretty fishes!
Or he will gives us a lousy role. And no fishes.
Not listening! Not listening!
Peter Jackson did well, precious, but LotR has had it's time. And Toro will ruin The Hobbit, yesss...we feels it in our bones...
But - didn't we want the nasty hobbit ruined in the first place?
And so the argument continued into the late hours of nightfall... :)
I believe you misunderstood the information you've read.
1.2. What will be in the second movie?
If The Hobbit does comprise the first film (see question 1.1), the second movie will cover some of the events in Middle-earth during the 60 years between the end of The Hobbit, when Bilbo returns to Bag End in the year 2941 of the Third Age, and the Long Expected Party that opens The Fellowship of the Ring, in the year 3001 of the Third Age. According to PJ: “At this stage, we’re not imagining a film that literally covers 60 years, like a bio-pic or documentary. We would figure out what happens during that 60 years, and choose one short section of time to drop in and dramatise for the screen.”
Possible events that could be included:
- Sauron returns to Mordor
- Gollum ventures from the Misty Mountains in search of Bilbo and ends up in Mordor
- Aragorn and Arwen meet
- Aragorn and Galdalf meet
- A young Aragorn leaves Rivendell and travels south to fight for Rohan and Gondor under the alias of Thorongil
- The Dwarves, led by Balin, re-inhabit Moria
There has also been mention of taking one character, such as Aragorn or Gandalf, and following their story-line over the 60 year time-frame. Essentially, the film rights include anything from the text or appendices of The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. What definitely will not be included in either movie are events or characters from Tolkien’s other works including The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales and The History of Middle-earth series.
Then again, maybe I've read too much fan fiction about him. :p
