The Hobbit to be made into two movies

According to Guillermo Del Toro, the new plan for himself and Peter Jackson is to make their Hobbit movie adaptation span two films rather than one.

Speaking to Empire magazine, he wrote:

We’ve decided to have The Hobbit span the two movies, including the White Council and the comings and goings of Gandalf to Dol Guldur.

What this means for the other ‘bridge’ movie – filling the gap between The Hobbit and The Fellowship of the Ring – is unclear at the moment.

Thanks for SlashFilm for the scoop.
