I think they are still making two films.
One is the Hobbit and the other a sort of bridge between the Hobbit and LoTR.

I know this is supposed to be awesome, but...
Does anyone really WANT to sit through a whole movie which consists of a company of dwarves yelling at things for most of the time? I really thought that one dwarf in the whole LotR trilogy was enough. Just one. And this movie will feature a group of them. The trilogy dwarf (forgot his name) was mainly there for comic relief, from what I saw. I've yet to see a dwarf be sufficiently badass.

Really, the Silmarillion would more or less be a series of short movies rather than an epic of any kind but the best stories would have to be of Beren & Luthien, and the Children of Hurin. Those are all I see that could be made into films of significant length and the rest of the Silmarillion would have to be told through background info throughout those filmsimperialus said:
The Silmarillion would be a very hard movie to pull of in full do to the somewhat fragmented nature of it :/
To the OP I swear the hobbit had been confirmed for over a year now, as I swear last summer they were discussing issues with the unions in NZ or something along those lines.

I think just about everyone already knows about this.someguy2300 said:
I, however, won't be satisfied until they make a Silmarillion movie.
Just kidding, that would be a terrible idea. I love the Silmarillion (my favorite book of all time), but it is absolutely not movie material
EDIT: ninja'd. About 20 times.
Short answer, he appears as the narrator of sorts reading Bilbo's "There and Back Again".imperialus said:
Also, on Legolas, there's already debates aboout his appearence and whether or not it was in the book, I doubt it'll be much more than a cameo.
See the thing about Peter Jackson's film making is that he's very sentimental and he loves making throwbacks to his previous films. For example, in King Kong one of the animal cages in the ship is labeled "Sumatran Rat Monkey" and anyone who's seen Braindead/Dead Alive might get that reference. Also casting Sean Astin as Sam was a somewhat sentimental decision as Jackson worked with his father, John Astin in The Frightners, (and Sean's daughter appeared as a Hobbit child in Return of the King meaning Jackson has worked with three generations of the Astin family.) Also, like Alfred Hitchcock, he appears in all his films. The Hobbit gives him licence to indulge a little bit by including characters from the LotR films that may only ever had minor roles if any at all in The Hobbit and Legolas is a good example.
