MGM to Produce "The Hobbit"

pawnder writes, "According to two sources, MGM and New Line are partnering to produce 'The Hobbit' as part of MGM's new plans to create blockbuster movies again. From theonering.net: 'Over the next few years, MGM is planning to release half a dozen films, some in the $150 million to $200 million-plus range. Studio is ready to unveil such high-profile projects as "Terminator 4"; one or two installments of "The Hobbit," which Sloan hopes will be directed by Peter Jackson; and a sequel to "The Thomas Crown Affair" with Pierce Brosnan.'" With or without Tom singing, is what I want to know.

technically there was only one LOTR book, which was split into three separate books for publishing purposes.

Technically? Oh it's on now!

One of the definitions of book, and the one that applies here, is: a major division of a treatise or literary work.

The Lord Of The Ring is a novel

Function: noun
Etymology: Italian novella
1 : an invented prose narrative that is usually long and complex and deals especially with human experience through a usually connected sequence of events

Split in three volume

Pronunciation: 'väl-y&m, -(")yüm
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Anglo-French, from Latin volumen roll, scroll, from volvere to roll
1 a : a series of printed sheets bound typically in book form

Consisting of six books.

Point, set and match.
