The Hobbit films to be made

Newsflash straight from Middle Earth: Sources close to It's A Fine Day report from the middle of the South Island of New Zealand that Peter Jackson has at last announced firm intention to make the long-anticipated Hobbit movies. Confirmed by the Times Online (UK), two films will be made for release in 2010 and 2011 with Jackson as producer. Travelers to New Zealand still marvel at the stunning scenery made famous by Jackson in Lord of the Rings and visit the "Hobbiton" still standing on the North Island.
