Hobbit = three films

[huinare]

So the 'okay so we might make three films instead' bruhaha has culminated in Peter Jackson's facebook note confirming this is the case.

Too sleepy to have opinion at present time.  Now is a good time for people with opinions to move in and attack.

I think, on the whole, this is a 'woo hoo!' although I am sure for some people it will be an 'Aaaaargh!'

It's great that there is both enough material to support three films, and enough demand to support them.

So maybe fence-sitters can be like 'whaagh!' =D

I am definitely excited about the prospect of more appendices material being included. Something about three whole films isn't sitting right with me, but it might be something as shallow as, "But 'An Unexpected Journey' and the 'There and Back Again' were perfect titles, how are they going to come up with another clever title like that?" =P
