Given how long they've been arguing about this one... I'll believe it when I see it. Actually, given my usual film-watching tendencies, that'll be several months after everyone else has acknowledged its existence. Well, you know what I mean...

Two films? Interesting. I wonder if they'll incorporate the stuff in Unfinished Tales? Because frankly the Hobbit is only one film long (unless it is two 90 minute affairs).

I do hope that they get people to reprise their roles!

Two films? I suspect there may be inclusion of things not in The Hobbit but to be found in Lord of the Rings - i.e. possibly mangling Tom Bombadil into it somehow, and no doubt something to do with Legolas in Mirkwood for the girlie fans?
