Now that Peter Jackson (THE LORD OF THE RINGS Trilogy, KING KONG) has officially begun production on his adaptation of THE HOBBIT you can expect a crap ton of news to come your way regarding the highly anticipated project! It was previously announced that THE HOBBIT would be brought to theaters in not one but TWO films that are to be shot back-to-back and released relatively close together. We now get official word on the titles of each installment as well as the official release dates! Drum roll please!
