The AP via Yahoo has reported that Ian McKellen will again be playing Gandalf in "The Hobbit" duo of films. Already announced was that Guillermo Del Toro, director of the Hellboy movies and Oscar winner Pan's Labrynth will be directing these two movies.
Peter Jackson, the director of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, will only be sitting in the producer's seat this time out but will be watching closely.
The movies will be made in New Zealand like the LOTR trilogy. The first movie will be based on the actual book while the second will be a linking movie between the books that make JRR Tolkien famous. The material for the second will be taken from the many books that were released after the trilogy was printed fleshing out the Middle-Earth world Tolkien created.
