Peter Jackson will not only produce “The Hobbit” which will be directed by “Hellboy” director Guillermo del Torro, Peter has also officially signed on to write the screenplay with the same writers whom he wrote with in the “Lord of the Rings Trilogy”. Peter Jackson is set to pen “The Hobbit” with Fran Walsh and Phillipa Boyens.

“The Hobbit” will be split into two films and Guillermo del Torro will direct both films.

Hope they do the film good. I have mixed feelings on this one.
