The announcement was made by New Zealand director "Peter Jackson" with Warner Bros and other producers. In December the first delivery will arrive to theaters.
"The Hobbit" will be a trilogy, announced the New Zealand director Peter Jackson with Warner Bros and other producers, the magazine The Hollywood Reporter.
The prequel to "The Lord of the Rings" was originally to be reduced to two deliveries, yet Jackson and producers took note of the wealth of material and its commercial potential and decided to have a longer history.
"The Hobbit: an unexpected journey" will hit screens in December and a year later will make "The Hobbit: There and back again."
While the third installment, as yet unnamed, would be arriving in theaters in mid-2014.
"The Hobbit", the novel J.R.R. Tolkien takes place before the trilogy "The Lord of the Rings" and the adventures of the hobbit Bilbo Beutlin.
For the initial film in the series, "The Hobbit: an unexpected journey," Jackson began shooting last year in New Zealand with the British Martin Freeman taking the lead role, that of Bilbo Beutlin.
The cast of the film short, also Orlando Bloom (Legolas) Elijah Wood (Frodo), Ian McKellen (Gandalf) and Cate Blanchett (Galadriel), who already formed part of "The Lord of the Rings".
