The Hobbit gets greenlit

The biggest Hollywood news of the week just hit with an announcement that The Hobbit, being shot in 2 parts back-to-back for separate release, has been greenlight! Furthermore, in the wake of Guillermo Del Toro leaving the product, it will be directed by Peter Jackson! Even though he specifically said he would not be directing The Hobbit! This is great news for fanboys everywhere as we all want that perfect PJ-Tolkien set sitting perfectly upon our DVD shelves in their glorious extended formats... making even the glorious Star Wars original trilogy seem somehow less impressive. I can't wait to see that fucking dragon in The Hobbit. Silmarillion is legitimitely unfilmable, so for all intensive puposes we have our perfect Tolkien set finally within reach, and PJ can do no wrong with this material. If Del Toro gets At The Mountains Of Madness made then this couldn't have worked out better. Movie bliss.
