File 10407So, remember how there was those looooooong books, The Lord of the Rings, that were made into looooooong movies?

And remember how the much shorter book, The Hobbit, to be made into a much short movie?

Not anymore!

You guys: we're going to be getting three - yep that's three - Hobbit movies!

Peter Jackson had this to say about the third movie (via his facebook page):

We know how much of the story of Bilbo Baggins, the Wizard Gandalf, the Dwarves of Erebor, the rise of the Necromancer, and the Battle of Dol Guldur will remain untold if we do not take this chance.  The richness of the story of The Hobbit, as well as some of the related material in the appendices of The Lord of the Rings, allows us to tell the full story of the adventures of Bilbo Baggins and the part he played in the sometimes dangerous, but at all times exciting, history of Middle-earth.

Here's the movie trailer to get you in the mood.  

Do you think you'll see them? or are we all Tolkien'd out?
