After their disagreement was settled last Tuesday, New Line have had to move fast before the rights to The Hobbit movie returned to the previous owner, Saul Zaentz. Zaentz had already stated Jackson would be directing if this happened.
Im very pleased that weve been able to put our differences behind us, so that we may begin a new chapter with our old friends at New Line, Jacksons statement read. We are delighted to continue our journey through Middle Earth.
Two Hobbit movies will be filmed at the same time, similar to how the 3 Lord of the Rings films were shot. Production will start in 2009 with a release planned for 2010, with the second part the following year.
Lets not kid ourselves though, Jackson has been given a role to appease the Rings fans, the special effects team and of course, the original cast of whom many may well be needed for at least one of the Hobbit movies.

I havent spoken to him directly (Peter Jackson) about it but Ive e-mailed him, and as far as I know the two films that theyre doing, one will be The Hobbit and another will take place between the 60 years that happened between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings the soon to be again Frodo told MTV Movies.
