Back last year, the plan was to make a movie of THE HOBBIT and to make a second movie that would serve as a bridge between the previously mentioned movie and THE LORD OF THE RINGS titled THE LORD OF THE WALLET, which I always assumed would be two hours of Bilbo stroking a ring in his hobbit hole.
Well forget that junk says Peter Jackson and Guillermo del Toro! They’ve decided instead to just make THE HOBBIT two movies. It’s win/win for everyone. The film makers will still be able to fill a swimming pool with money and the nerds will be able to see things like the White Council and an old man riding a horse to-and-from different places. This is from Empire.
As a side note, I’m not fool enough to believe that they’ve completely trashed the idea of making a bridge movie. It’s too big of a “money vacuum” to not do. But I guess we’ll just have to wait and see.
