So as most of you probably know, Peter Jackson is producing a series of two movies based on J.R.R. Tolkien's book, The Hobbit. The first movie is going to cover most of the actual book while the second one will concern more of the time between the book and the Lord of the Rings series. Guillermo del Toro (of Hellboy and Pan's Labyrinth fame) will be directing the film. The only word on casting is that all parties concerned are enthusiastic about Sir Ian McKlellan reprising his role as Gandalf.
So this is an open thread to discuss enthusiasm, concerns, and news regarding the production of these films. I, for one, am very optimistic.

I am hoping they will be just as great as the first trilogy of films. Even though Jackson is not directing, his is producing and is sure to make sure his vision still comes alive. Official movie blog
