'The Hobbit' to Hit the Silver Screen!

Years of disputes between Peter Jackson and New Line Cinema have kept the shooting of J.R.R. Tolkien’s children’s book, “The Hobbit” at a stand still. Apparently the problems are over and New Line is moving ahead, according to the official Hobbit movie blog.

Two films will come out of the deal: “The Hobbit” and a sequel to it, which will act as some sort of transition to “The Lord of the Rings” films. “The Hobbit” will be released in 2010 and the sequel will debut in 2011.

No word yet who will director or if any of the earlier actors will show up.

Guillermo Del Toro's name is being bandied about as possible director, but last I heard he'd not been officially asked.

You and yours have a happy and safe new year, a'ight?
