The Hobbit is still scheduled for a December 2012 release with two more movies in 2013 and 2014.

The link doesn't work btw.

What a bummer, I was looking forward to it. Hope these movies don't turn into a massive waiting game. :(

I know. I can't believe that site would even post that. But is it true?

All I can find is that it is due for US release on 14 Dec 2012... it would be a crippling blow to the studios if true.
[I can't get the link to work so...]

...I don't get it. It's not April yet, is is? :confused:

While on the subject, though, I still don't quite understand how they are supposed to turn the Hobbit into three feature-length movies.

It isn't just material from the book The Hobbit. They're also filming material from The Lord of the Rings appendices that were going on at the same time but were not dramatized in The Hobbit.

Plus Peter Jackson has access to JRR tolkien's notes that weren't included in the book. That sounds promising.
