According to this article in Empire magazine, The Hobbit is finally ready to go into production. Peter Jackson will be the Executive Producer, not the director. The story of The Hobbit itself will be split into two films, which should give a pretty reasonable chance of a faithful adaptation

Good! ;D Wait... ... Oh well, I'm gonna be patient. And I agree, if its split in two, they're not going to pull that common Hollywood crap of shortening a movie to fit it in. Give us two 3.5 hour movies! Killerzzz

It's not going to be split. The Hobbit is one movie, and the other a pseudo Hobbit sequel/LOTR prelude, based on all the material available between those two.

That's a shame. Not least because they won't have a real story for that second film unless they invent one.
I'd prefer a two part Hobbit film... Guess my reading involved a dose of wishful thinking...

Guess my reading involved a dose of wishful thinking... It didn't. The article itself states: "(we're presuming this means the book will be split in two)", which is an incorrect assumption, as there has been more information available the last time this was on the news.
