Del Toro to direct The Hobbit... and sequel?

[Umbran]

Which, as I understand it, is heavily based on Tolkien's copious notes. So even though it's not a true adaptation, like the others are, it's not made up out of whole cloth, either.

I would imagine the bridge would largely deal with "who is this Sauron guy, and why are we in this position anyway?" That makes it, in large part, the content of The Silmarillion.

Del Toro’s moving to New Zealand for the next four years to work with Jackson and his Wingnut and Weta production teams. ...The studios didn’t give a start date on production and don’t yet have a script. Though no screenplay deal’s been set, it’s expected that the “LOTR” scripting team of Jackson, Walsh and Philippa Boyens will collaborate with Del Toro. With Del Toro blocking out four years for the project, it’s likely that the studios are aiming at starting shooting next year and releasing the films in late 2011 and 2012.

"Umm...dammit! What's worse than medieval?"

Bilbo's going to ... Kill Smaug!

I can see it now. Smaug duct taped to the Lonely Mountain with Bilbo dancing around it to the tune of Stuck in the Middle with You.

Pardon me if I'm wrong, but wasn't it Bilbo who was gagged taped while a bunch of trolls we're dancing around him?
