Peter Jackson is to co-write the screenplay for The Hobbit it is told. Jackson, who presided over the Oscar-winning Lord Of The Rings trilogy, is executive producer on the new Tolkien adaptation, which is due out in 2011. He had already handed over the director's reigns to Hellboy and Pan's Labyrinth director Guillermo del Toro, but following an eight-month search for a suitable scribe, the pair decided to adapt the epic novel themselves.
Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, who worked with Jackson on Lord of The Rings, have also joined the writing team.
The big-screen version will be split into two parts and as with Lord Of The Rings, they will be shot simultaneously and released over consecutive years. With the same team behind such a fantastic idea I have very high hopes. My precious...
