Blake it is more than just this announcement. My sources have been proven correct so far in providing this very info well ahead of this official announcement. MORE details that have yet to be announced: 1. Peter Jackson will indeed DIRECT. 2. The second Hobbit movie will be based on Tolkien's notes that provided the basis for The Silmirillion and The History of Middle Earth Series - that is where the content will come from. He CAN and WILL use these notes as he did for LOTRs. 3. The two Hobbit movies will be filmed in Live Action and Performance Capture Digital 3D. 4. The original Lord of the Rings trilogy will be re-released in 3D.
