It’s official: Peter Jackson, New Line Cinema, and MGM are now officially working together to get two movies based on the JRR Tolkien “The Hobbit” into theaters for us all to enjoy.

Apparently New Line and MGM are co-financing and co-distributing while Peter and Company are pegged as Executive Producer(s). More details on The Hobbit movies at TheOneRing.net and the official Hobbit movie blog, but personally I am ecstatic that not only the movies are being made, but that PJ is attached in a very influential role. The only downside is that he’s not also directing the movies, which is unfortunate.
