The Hobbit has finally been given the greenlight and will be made in 3-D with Sir Peter Jackson in the director's chair.
Shooting will begin in February.
The announcement was made today jointly by New Line Cinema - which bankrolled The Lord of the Rings - and its parent company Warner Bros.
The announcement did not state whether the two part prequel to The Lord of the Rings would be shot in New Zealand.
Members of New Zealand actors' union Equity are refusing to participate in The Hobbit until they meet with its producers. The producers have refused to meet and Jackson has said the film may be forced to be shot in another country.
It had been widely speculated that Jackson would direct after Mexican film-maker Guillermo del Toro quit as director in May due to delays on starting date for The Hobbit, in part due to financial problems with one of its backers, MGM.
There had also been speculation that the two part film would be shot in 3-D.
Both parts wold be made "using the latest camera and stereo technology to create a high quality, comfortable viewing experience", the studios said.
The two part film is expected to cost about US$500 million (NZ$660 m) to make.
“Exploring Tolkien’s Middle-earth goes way beyond a normal film making experience” Jackson said, "It’s an all-immersive journey into a very special place of imagination, beauty and drama.
"We’re looking forward to re-entering this wondrous world with Gandalf and Bilbo - and our friends at New Line Cinema, Warner Brothers and MGM”.
“There is no human being on the planet as qualified as Peter Jackson to direct these films,” said Warner Bros president Alan Horn.
“Peter is incredibly talented and has the creative vision and experience to bring this beloved property to life in a way that no other film-maker could.
And the team of Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens have proven through their work on the Lord of the Rings trilogy that no one is more skilled at transforming Tolkien's written words into a vibrant, living language that makes the audience believe they are not merely visiting Middle Earth, but actually living in it.
"We couldn’t be more thrilled and look forward to seeing The Hobbit take shape under Peter’s stewardship and the team he is putting together.”
“Peter is a filmmaker of incomparable ability; having him return to Middle-earth to produce and direct is a dream come true. A true original, Jackson is a gifted story-teller, visionary director and pioneer in film technology,” said New Line Cinema president Toby Emmerich.

“Reuniting with Peter, Fran and Philippa on truly makes it feel like we are going ‘there and back again.’”
