So it was 2 and then it was 3 and then it was 2 again but now it is almost officially confirmed that there will be 3 Hobbit films. Apparently this is at the request of Jackson himself which bodes well when compared to say the studios behind Harry Potter/Twilight/The Hunger Games that stretched their films for monetary reasons. No word yet on whether it’ll be more Hobbit stuff or something from The Lord of the Rings appendices.

Today there is exactly one year to go, is it bad to wish away a whole year?

Legolas is confirmed for The Hobbit: ‘Ten years ago, Orlando Bloom created an iconic character with his portrayal of Legolas. I’m excited to announce today that we’ll be revisiting Middle Earth with him once more. I’m thrilled to be working with Orlando again. Funny thing is, I look older—and he doesn’t! I guess that’s why he makes such a wonderful elf.’ - Peter Jackson
