Two new Middle Earth films from Peter Jackson

CBC is reporting that Peter Jackson will be helming development of the film adaptation of "The Hobbit".

This is good news for everyone who loved Jackson's take on the Lord of the Rings trilogy and hope that he brings the same level of quality to the prequel. Apparently the book will be spun out over two separate films.

"The Hobbit" films have a tentative release date of 2010 and 2011, so to keep us occupied while we wait, have a look at some of these books and films:
