Three movies from one book? C'mon, enough already.

Three movies from one book? C'mon, enough already. And it's not even a very substantial book.

It's getting drawn out of the appendices.
Count me as one that's not terribly excited. I'm worried that too much is being invented, especially as I'm suspecting the story will be extending into Gollum going to Mordor, then being captured by Aragorn.
I always liked that both books are neatly packaged as the hobbits' perspective on things that happened, and in that sense this doesn't serve the narrative.

It appears to just be a money grab, which is understandable, I guess. It's hard to give up 100s of millions of dollars.

in other movie news, I don't know how many of you ever read the Jack Reacher books, but he's a 6'5 260 lb one man gang, former military, etc.
They cast Tom Cruise as him. I almost had a stroke when I saw the preview. Never has there been a more egregious miscast in Hollywood.

132 days left...
I have watched the blogs. I have enjoyed the whole movie making process and all that is involved. Yes, stretching the movie into a third film may be a bit much but that's what sequels are for $$$$ Still looking forward to it though.
