All I have time to say is w00t!
And it looks real. TORn wouldn't joke about this.

“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”

It's all over the news now, and not just torn. Just to add and clarify stuff.
Lidless has a post on B77 about it too.

Just to save anyone the effort...
Well, just got of the phone from my sauce at Newline, who I'm happy to say is now much higher up the corporate ladder.. I can tell you the following:
1 PJ and Bob Shaye have come to an agreement over their royalty battle.
2 PJ and Fran Walsh it seems will have little if no input into this and are just lending their names. The director and the screenwriters have not been chosen. It's possible they might be the scriptwriters or have script supervision, but it's unlikely, albeit possible.
3 No cast/cameo decisions have been made whatsoever, though they expect to be talking to Ian McKellen between now and the end of January.
4 No decision has been made as to the tone of the movie, given how The Hobbit is more 'child-friendly'. The choice of director should be a clue.
5 Neither has any decision been made between 2D and 3D..
6 The entire Hobbit will be contained in the first film. The sequel will tie the end of that movie with the beginning of LOTR.
Now there are certain messageboards that I can't post on, so feel free to quote.

What's a "producer" anyway?-

A producer is the equivalent of a project manager in a company - making sure all the chess pieces are in place, whether it be personnel, locations, pre and post production and finance, with the target of getting the project in on time and on budget.
An executive producer, which PJ and Fran Walsh will be, is a more nebulous and honorific title. Often a person will receive Executive Producer credit because of his or her prior involvement with a property that has since been optioned into a film, even if there was no direct input into the creative process of the film itself. e.g. authors of optioned literary works, a person who has previously owned or currently owns a property's movie rights or someone who has produced or been involved in the production of a past version of the film.
Witness the Weinstein"s exec producer credits for LOTR - they had absolutely no input other than having previously owned the rights (and being shown as trolls in the ROTK credits).

Hmmm... I might go see it...
It won't live up to my expectations. It's my favorite Tolkien really. I love the repeated
"Not for the last time, Bilbo wished he was at home..." in each chapter. That'll be lost I imagine.
I hope they capture the elves better in this one. More whimsical and so on.
