The Hobbit chat transcript

Found this interesting webchat with Peter Jackson and Guillermo del Toro about The Hobbit. Now I'm finally starting to believe they'll actually make it. Still not sure they need to drag it out over two movies, though, since The Hobbit is such a simple children's book and we don't really need to know what Gandalf, Aragorn, etc. were up to between The Hobbit and the start of The Fellowship of the Ring. I prefer some mystery. Can't wait to see the Battle of Five Armies on the big screen, though.
