Peter Jackson has posted a note on his Facebook page inviting fans to send in questions about the upcoming Hobbit films out of which he will soon pick 20 questions to answer.

An excerpt follows (but be sure to read the entire note accessible from the link above):

It seems like a lifetime ago now, but way back at the beginning of The Lord of the Rings, I agreed to answer 20 questions…

I thought you might like to do the same thing again with The Hobbit, using this Facebook page. So let’s get into it … if there’s anything you’d like to know about the movies we’re making, please send me questions (on this page) and we’ll start answering 20 of them. Who knows – if we have fun, why stop at 20?

There’s a neat discussion going on on our dedicated Hobbit – Movie message board, with members thinking through some of the more intelligent questions that can be asked. You’re most welcome to pitch in!

On a related note, here’s the original 20 Questions that PJ did for The Lord of the Rings. Enjoy!
