I just found this article that gives the dates and titles for the upcoming Hobbit films. The first film, due out December 14, 2012, is called The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. The second, due out December 14, 2013, is called The Hobbit: There and Back Again.
It also gives most of the cast that has signed on. Orlando Bloom, Elijah Wood, Cate Blanchett, Ian McKellen, Christopher Lee and Hugo Weaving are all reprising their roles from the LOTR trilogy. Most of these are not in the book. I'm not quite sure how I feel about Peter Jackson adding these characters into the movie version. I understand that it will provide some continuity between the LOTR movies and this new movie but I also am a stickler for translating the book as accurately as possible to the screen.
What do you guys think about the adaptation of book to screen? Are you a purist or do you give lots of "artistic license" to directors?

New Movie Monday (on Tuesday)
Ever since I was a little kid, I have dreamed of a Thor movie. Well, here it is. I hope that it will be worthy of my childhood dreams of this day. What do you think?
