"The Hobbit" is an upcoming two–film series based on the novel of the same name by J. R. R. Tolkien. The films are in development for release in December 2011 and December 2012. The films will be directed by Guillermo del Toro, with "The Lord of the Rings" film trilogy director Peter Jackson serving as executive producer and co–writer. Originally, the first film would have adapted "The Hobbit" and the second would have bridged the gap between this adventure and "The Lord of the Rings", but it is now the director‘s intention to split and expand the narrative of "The Hobbit" over both films.
