There's a whole lot of not-reading-the-link syndrome being displayed here. They aren't just turning The Hobbit into 3 separate movies, they're incorporating material from other Tolkien books like the appendices and The Silmarillion. Telling the whole story, explaining what Gandalf is doing when he disappears while they're in mirkwood, things like that. I know a lot of people that have read The Hobbit and the LOTR trilogy, but almost nobody that's gone through the extra material, so I'm really looking forward to experiencing some new Tolkien lore. In 48 FPS delicious 3D. *drool*
