\"\"When it comes to LOTR & the Hobbit, the online gushing is usually non-stop.<\/p>\n

Not today, though. The unconfirmed news that Peter Jackson may turn \u201cThe Hobbit\u201d into a trilogy has been blowing up on social media, and it’s not all happy. A common response has been \u201cnot sure how I feel about this,\u201d<\/a>\u00a0 but there’s been quite a bit of negativity mixed in with the happiness and mixed-emotions.<\/p>\n

We combed through the last 12 hours of tweets and pulled together a selection of what Twitter users have to say. You’ll find Yays<\/span>, Naes<\/span> and a whole bunch of head-scratching<\/span>. Read on:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Damon Lindelof \u200f@DamonLindelof<\/strong>
\nI think THE HOBBIT should be broken into a hundred five-minute installments and released every Christmas until we are all dead.<\/span><\/p>\n

Matt Murray \u200f@mbmurray
\n<\/strong>Uh, what? There’s no way The Hobbit has enough content to fill 3 movies<\/span><\/p>\n

Rob McCallum \u200f@Rob_McCallum<\/strong>
\nHang on!- The Hobbit is ONE BOOK. Two films was pushing it. Three is having a laugh<\/span><\/p>\n

Alex Braga \u200f@Alex_Braga<\/strong>
\nI’m very much on board with there being three Hobbit movies. Very much.<\/span><\/p>\n

Disalmanac \u200f@Disalmanac<\/strong>
\nUPDATE: Peter Jackson not only wants to turn “The Hobbit” into three movies, he’s changing it so that Gollum shoots at Han Solo first.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lee Leslie \u200f@leeleslie<\/strong>
\nWhat? There’s going to be THREE Hobbit movies now?!? How?<\/span><\/p>\n

Nick McAnulty \u200f@NickMcAnulty<\/strong>
\nMaking two #Hobbit movies is a real stretch – making THREE is just greedy<\/span><\/p>\n

Kubulai \u200f@CloudySpotty<\/strong>
\nWow. Peter Jackson is serious about making three Hobbit movies instead of two. Well…if they all kick ass, I don’t see why not.<\/span><\/p>\n

Celeste Sharp \u200f@celesteosharp<\/strong>
\nHow can you make The Hobbit a trilogy? Pah! I bet the last film is a three hour battle…<\/span><\/p>\n

LB Gale \u200f@LBGale<\/strong>
\nThey have the rights to all of what happens between The Hobbit and the end of LOTR appendices. There are easily three movies in that.<\/span><\/p>\n

Vivi H. \u200f@tilgorekrout<\/strong>
\nso the hobbit’s gonna be a trilogy? as much as I LOVE the book, three films for ~400 pages? #vividisapproves<\/span><\/p>\n

Oliver Good \u200f@OliGood<\/strong>
\nPeter Jackson’s ‘plan’ to make three movies out of The Hobbit is making me approximately 33.3% less excited about The Hobbit..<\/span><\/p>\n

Elaina Ciara Glynn \u200f@ElainaCG<\/strong>
\nBad jokes aside, I missed out on the LOTR trilogy experience, so I’d probably jump for joy if there were three Hobbit movies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Donal Ryan \u200f@donalwryan<\/strong>
\nWould love to have three hobbit movies, if that\u2019s how it was scripted from the start. It\u2019s a short book to begin with. this could backfire<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n


\nBear McCreary \u200f@bearmccreary<\/strong>
\nHey fellow nerds, everybody calm down about The Hobbit. We’re talking about a director whose WORST movie was still pretty good. I’m excited.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jason Smith \u200f@byumanutd<\/strong>
\nWould rather have all the material than have things cut.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Steve Zaragoza \u200f@stevezaragoza<\/strong>
\nIf PJ makes 3 Hobbit movies, someday we’ll own close to 24 straight hours of Middle Earth awesomeness. Must look into buying toilet chair…<\/span><\/p>\n

Matthew C. Ruffner \u200f@MatthewCRuffner<\/strong>
\nI don’t know if I’m excited or offended. Peter Jackson to make \u201cThe Hobbit\u201d a trilogy? #LOTR #hobbit #JRRTolkien<\/span><\/p>\n

Corrie Bates \u200f@OnTheEverglow<\/strong>
\nNot sure what to think about this yet, but I’m excited if it’s all Appendices material.\u00a0 #TheHobbit #LOTRmoviesforever<\/span><\/p>\n

Bryan King \u200f@kingbry7<\/strong>
\nWe didn’t get Tom Bombadil but we’re getting three Hobbit movies.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chris Lovins \u200f@chris_lovins<\/strong>
\nAs much as I would LOVE for the Hobbit to be made into a trilogy, the more the merrier, I guess…I don’t think I could wait that long.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thorin Thompson \u200f@Nosfilmatu<\/strong>
\nHoping this is true! More of The #Hobbit can only be a good thing right?<\/span><\/p>\n

Mark J Musante \u200f@mmusante<\/strong>
\nWait, now there\u2019s *three* Hobbit films? Egad, Brain, will this road go ever on and on? (taking bets on it expanding to four now!)<\/span><\/p>\n

Alex Zalben \u200f@azalben<\/strong>
\nSince Peter Jackson shot The Hobbit at 48fps, why doesn’t he just release it at 24fps? Then he could have FOUR movies instead of just three!<\/span><\/p>\n

Leah Johnson \u200f@LeahJohnson30<\/strong>
\n@The_HobbitMovie Three Hobbit movies? The more the merrier!<\/span><\/p>\n

Tozzzoooo \u200f@Tozzzz1991<\/strong>
\nthree Hobbit films…. I can’t stop salivating<\/span><\/p>\n

James Locker \u200f@jameslocker<\/strong>
\ncatching up on movie news earlier really don’t see the need to turn The Hobbit into a trilogy<\/span><\/p>\n

Luke Grima | WGTTM? \u200f@LGrima<\/strong>
\nBREAKING NEWS: These are the titles for Peter Jackson’s ‘Hobbit’ trilogy. THE HOBBIT, THE HOBBIT: WALK & THE HOBBIT: WALK HARDER<\/span><\/p>\n

Reid Schmidt \u200f@reidhschmidt<\/strong>
\nPeter, do not underestimate the powers of a franchise, or suffer George’s fate you will. #TheHobbit #Collider<\/span><\/p>\n

Ste McInerney \u200f@SteMaccaUK<\/strong>
\nErm yeah I may just say that I’m excited that THERE WILL BE THREE HOBBIT FILMS!!!<\/span><\/p>\n

Liam \u200f@LiamAJack<\/strong>
\nSo there will be three #hobbit films? Hasn’t this series Gollum long enough?<\/span><\/p>\n

JustinNixon \u200f@PhineasPoe<\/strong>
\nThe book is only 300 pages long! @RELEVANT: Peter Jackson is considering making ‘The Hobbit’ into a trilogy<\/span><\/p>\n

\u5965\u5229\u5f17\u00b7\u514b\u62c9\u514b \u200f@Oli_Clark
\nTHREE HOBBIT MOVIES!?!?!?! HELL YEAH!<\/span><\/p>\n

Janet Brannigan \u200f@jaybee2801<\/strong>
\n@The_HobbitMovie two max. Not sure how you can stretch to three. The Hobbit is a lovely book but no LOTR. Can’t wait until 14 Dec<\/span><\/p>\n

Emily Martin \u200f@emartin5<\/strong>
\nThree Hobbit films?!? THREE!!!???? My heart can’t handle the excitement.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ian Joseph Aronoff \u200f@muggleprince611<\/strong>
\nI understood two but now there is going to be THREE Hobbit movies? -_- talk about money hungry #thehobbit<\/span><\/p>\n

Dakota Mancuso \u200f@DakotaMancuso<\/strong>
\nThe Hobbit is going to be divided into three movies? Sounds great, but they better be good Mr. Jackson! \ud83d\ude00 #TheHobbit<\/span><\/p>\n

Shahin Khoygani \u200f@ShahinKhoygani<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>They are making a trilogy out of the Hobbit?! Just more proof that Hollywood loves milking movies. Unbelievable.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Stanley Bain \u200f@bainery<\/strong>
\nPlease don’t turn into a George Lucas.<\/span><\/p>\n

Diep Tran \u200f@diepthought<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>The Hobbit may be a trilogy. That both excites and saddens me. Greediness is such a buzzkill<\/span>
\n
\nkobby \u200f@Tha_MaihnYOU<\/strong>
\nTHERE WILL BE THREE HOBBIT MOVIES!!!!\u00a0 i hope Peter Jackson Knows what he is doing<\/span><\/p>\n

Jordan \u200f@JordanSamB<\/strong>
\nI would just like to inform everyone that The Hobbit is being split into 3 movies. THREE movies of awesomeness.<\/span><\/p>\n

tom faciane \u200f@Carnivaltom<\/strong>
\n‘The Hobbit’ to be a trilogy? Why not just release all three films on the same day instead? Or a single, nine hour movie? #LOTR<\/span><\/p>\n

Mike Severance \u200f@Messi92Mike<\/strong>
\nAny chance of me watching The Hobbit now rest on whether Jackson wakes up from this fever dream. I am not paying for three movies.<\/span><\/p>\n

John Wie \u200f@jwie86<\/strong>
\nOh Peter J., I loved the Lord of the Rings trilogy but even 2 films seems like a bit much for the Hobbit let alone 3<\/span><\/p>\n

Andy Giff \u200f@AndyGiff<\/strong>
\nThe whole dividing books up into multiple films thing is getting ridiculous now. There’s no way The Hobbit can be justified as three parts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sophie Knowler \u200f@eihposknowler<\/strong>
\nYou have the nerve to miss out so much from The Deathly Hallows but make The Hobbit into a trilogy?! #injustice #priorities<\/span><\/p>\n

Adam Terry \u200f@McAdamSandwich<\/strong>
\n@VoodooDarling Probably one tequila shot away from a pre-Hobbit trilogy in 4k super HD 4D with DeLorean BTTF goggles.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jared Lo \u200f@jaredlo91<\/strong>
\nA single story should not be turned into a trilogy… *COUGH* THE HOBBIT *COUGH*<\/span><\/p>\n

connor ross \u200f@Connomnomnor<\/strong>
\nThe Hobbit is gonna be a trilogy? It sure has a lot to live up to trilogy wise… #Batman #LotR #ToyStory<\/span><\/p>\n

Garrett Stiger \u200f@G_Stiggy<\/strong>
\nI’m getting to be more and more concerned about Peter Jackson’s adaptation of The Hobbit. Two films and now possibly three?!<\/span><\/p>\n

Anthony Hall \u200f@amusichall<\/strong>
\nI could tell the Hobbit story in 30 mins. Or, if you prefer, I could tell it in three two-hour installments several months apart! Yay money!<\/span><\/p>\n

Mary Martin \u200f@WrestleCrow<\/strong>
\nThe Hobbit\u2019s going to be released as three films! Good news ladies, New Line Cinema has extended Legolas’ cameo from 3 minutes to 3 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

Michael McKiddy \u200f@MichaelMcKiddy<\/strong>
\nPeter Jackson turning “The Hobbit” into a trilogy…I’m hoping this time around the third film will have 26 endings. #GollumFightsYoda<\/span><\/p>\n

Colin Kershey \u200f@ColinKershey<\/strong>
\nI hate this trend and 2 was overkill \u201c@EW: Peter Jackson in talks about possibly turning ‘The Hobbit’ into a trilogy”<\/span><\/p>\n

Gregory Hudson \u200f@Greg_Hudson<\/strong>
\nSo now ‘The Hobbit’ is going to be a trilogy? Hmm..skeptical on that one. But I’ll still watch em!<\/span><\/p>\n

Matthew DiDonato \u200f@mdidonato13<\/strong>
\nJust read The Hobbit could turn into a trilogy so more of the story can be told.. Awesome #TheHobbit<\/span><\/p>\n

zachary winters \u200f@wheresgreen<\/strong>
\nPeter Jackson in talks about possibly turning ‘The Hobbit’ into a trilogy\u00a0 God, yes! A trilogy, please!<\/span><\/p>\n

Stephanie \uf8ff \u200f@Dark_Rose_xoxo<\/strong>
\n\u201cThere is a good possibility that the originally planned 2 Hobbit movie release will turn into a full Trilogy.\u201d OMG HAPPY DANCE! SO EXCITED!<\/span><\/p>\n

RSSharkey \u200f@RSSharkey<\/strong>
\nPlease don’t… it’s enough that the Hobbit has already turned into two movies, don’t make it three!<\/span><\/p>\n

Dan Wiencek \u200f@DanWiencek<\/strong>
\nIt’d be great if The Hobbit turned into three movies. There would be a prequel trilogy out there that was actually good.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jen Hurler \u200f@jenhurler<\/strong>
\nThey’re turning The Hobbit into a trilogy. Did they learn nothing about the potential shitiness of prequel trilogies from Star Wars? T_T<\/span><\/p>\n

Meyg \u200f@meyglizzie<\/strong>
\nAlso, if The Hobbit becomes a trilogy, NOTHING can be cut out. Not if you have like 9 hours to tell the story.<\/span><\/p>\n

Joe Bua \u200f@JoeWatchesTV<\/strong>
\nCa-Ching! RT @aots Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit to become a trilogy?<\/span><\/p>\n

Daniel Rankin \u200f@DanielKRankin<\/strong>

\nThe world can’t end ’til after Dec 2015!<\/span><\/p>\n

Kim Espen \u200f@Emmeth<\/strong>
\nSo, The Hobbit is being made into a trilogy? I don’t know what to feel about this.<\/span><\/p>\n

William Walsh \u200f@TheDukeRaoul<\/strong>
\nIt’s a little insane PJ wants to now make The Hobbit a trilogy, but i’m kinda onboard with it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kevin Church \u200f@Kevin_Church<\/strong>
\nI read THE HOBBIT in an afternoon. Peter Jackson is going to turn it into three movies. Huh.<\/span><\/p>\n

Chris Person \u200f@Papapishu<\/strong>
\nOnly Peter Jackson could turn the Hobbit into 3 movies.<\/span><\/p>\n

d \u200f@wegetgeek<\/strong>
\nthe Hobbit in three movies? Jesus christ if I wasn’t so in love with LOTR I would think their crazy. Well I do think their crazy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Peter Triezenberg \u200f@IhaveFURY<\/strong>
\nHobbit might be three movies? Not sure how I feel about that…<\/span><\/p>\n

Jordan Hickman \u200f@jordan_hickman<\/strong>
\nWoah woah woah. ‘The Hobbit’ is going to be a trilogy? Even with all the additional notes Thorin & company will be doing a lot of nothing.<\/span><\/p>\n

John Bruni \u200f@tusitalabruni<\/strong>
\nARGH! THE HOBBIT is going to be a trilogy now?! Here’s a thought: try making ONE movie out of it. There’s not much there, Mr. Jackson.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ethan Burnette \u200f@EthanBurnette<\/strong>
\nSo, a #Hobbit trilogy? I WANT to be excited, but just feels thin… Like butter scraped over too much bread. Anyone have any thoughts? #LOTR<\/span><\/p>\n

Phil DiVuolo \u200f@PhilboFaggins<\/strong>
\nLotR: ~1000 pages, 3 books, 3 movies. The Hobbit: ~300 pages, 1 book, possibly being made into a trilogy. No way am I spending $30 on that!<\/span><\/p>\n

Terrence Aybar \u200f@cinemaparker<\/strong>
\nHobbit stretched into two films was already questionable but a trilogy? Right now a Tolkien is sharpening his sword, I guarantee it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kevin Li \u200f@redtidal<\/strong>
\n#Hobbit will be made into a trilogy? Is there enough story? Why not a 10 hr mini series then?<\/span><\/p>\n

Sam Hurwitt \u200f@shurwitt<\/strong>
\nPeter Jackson considering making “The Hobbit” a trilogy. Hell, Jackson would make “Pat the Bunny” a 12-hour epic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mike Statham \u200f@mjstatham<\/strong>
\nHobbit to possibly become a trilogy? Im in! Make it so Jackson.<\/span><\/p>\n

Adam Gale \u200f@ArgoTheatricals<\/strong>
\nDeathly Hallows, 2 parts. Hobbit, 3. What’s next? Pat the Bunny in 4 parts?<\/span><\/p>\n

Jeremy Wilcox \u200f@blueduck37<\/strong>
\nNot to whine like stereotypical internet geek, but this plan to make “The Hobbit” a trilogy is crazy. A 300-page book!<\/span><\/p>\n

Carlota Martinho \u200f@carlotagagaloo<\/strong>
\nAre you freaking kidding me? The Hobbit getting to be a trilogy would crush all LOTR fans. It would be awesome but it would be awful too.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dipali Dey \u200f@Dipali_Dey<\/strong>
\nDefinitely want to watch The Hobbit. Loved The Lord of the Rings trilogy and I am sure I’m going to love this one too!<\/span><\/p>\n

Leslie DesJardins \u200f@laughsalltheway<\/strong>
\nThe Hobbit may now be a trilogy? Yeesh. There’s gonna be a lot of artistic license taken, and not in a good way. #comeonpeterjackson<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThe appendices are great reads, this is awesome! @sciencefiction<\/span><\/p>\n

Ben Skipworth \u200f@BenSkipworth<\/strong>
\nI just read that Peter Jackson is trying to stretch the Hobbit out to a trilogy. Nerd level: high.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nazrin Zain \u200f@Yuecchi86<\/strong>
\nActually I do find it weird that Peter Jackson is extending The Hobbit to be a trilogy, considering the source material isn’t all that long.<\/span><\/p>\n

RC (FoO) \u200f@shadowbottle<\/strong>
\nWTH? Really? Now there’s talk of breaking up The Hobbit into a -TRILOGY-. MIXED EMOTIONS.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kelly Lawler \u200f@klawls<\/strong>
\nI just, can’t wrap my mind around “The Hobbit” as a dark trilogy. Tolkein called it a kids book…<\/span><\/p>\n

James Fox \u200f@Jamez1502<\/strong>
\nI don\u2019t know about anyone else but I really don\u2019t want the hobbit to be a trilogy, I\u2019d prefer two films and two very much extended editions<\/span><\/p>\n

mike beebe \u200f@mikebeebe<\/strong>
\nSo now Peter Jackson wants to turn The Hobbit, a 300 page children’s story, into a TRILOGY? How? WHY?!?!?<\/span><\/p>\n

Brian Solomon \u200f@Brian_Solomon<\/strong>
\nThe idea that Peter Jackson could make The Hobbit into a trilogy as long as The Lord of the Rings is crazy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Patrick Czekaj \u200f@PatrickCzekaj<\/strong>
\nPeter Jackson’s crazy idea to make The Hobbit into a trilogy is sure tempting, but not exactly necessary.<\/span>

\nSean Hall \u200f@SeanHa1l<\/strong>
\nso now Peter Jackson wants to turn The Hobbit into a #trilogy…… okayyyy slow down there buddy ole pal.. 2 films is enough for the hobbit<\/span><\/p>\n

Libba Poindexter \u200f@novelwords<\/strong>
\ni have some major reservations about the hobbit becoming a trilogy, but i absolutely trust PJ to make it fabulous either way. #hobbit2012<\/span><\/p>\n

John Vanderhoef \u200f@johnvanderhoef<\/strong>
\nAs much as I am anticipating the Hobbit films, I can’t see a trilogy of content here without sacrificing pacing and story structure.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mike Henderson \u200f@MikeSHenderson<\/strong>
\nAs much as I want to see every possible second of Jackson-made Tolkien material on-screen, I’d rather a huge DVD set than a Hobbit trilogy.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jake Gorton \u200f@JakeGorton<\/strong>
\nThe hobbit trilogy seems odd as the book is so short. PJ must be bringing the appendices into action. To be fair the more the better!#hobbit<\/span><\/p>\n

Gregory du Tertre \u200f@gregdut<\/strong>
\nI have a feeling I could use this film for a production value class exercise with the production students!<\/span><\/p>\n

Marty Fleming \u200f@Jeffbiscuits<\/strong>
\n@totalfilm #TFDebate Hobbit is my favourite book of all time. If Jackson thinks it will work as a trilogy then I’m not complaining.<\/span><\/p>\n

\nThe Hobbit becoming a trilogy…..I could enjoy that!<\/span><\/p>\n

Jesse Ryan \u200f@JesseRyan<\/strong>
\nthey may be making the hobbit a trilogy rather than just two movies. life just got more awesome. and that’s not sarcasm.<\/span><\/p>\n

Kitkat Pecson \u200f@kitkatpecson<\/strong>
\n@tinfinities I would sacrifice a virgin for a Hobbit trilogy. #kidding #notreally #justinbieber<\/span><\/p>\n

\nI guess I’m missing why people are up in arms over Peter Jackson having ‘The Hobbit’ as a trilogy. Give me as much Middle Earth as you can.<\/span><\/p>\n

Tony Hess \u200f@T_4_Tony<\/strong>
\nOmg omg omg omg omg omg omg Peter Jackson might make the hobbit into a trilogy!!!!! Ahhhh too much joy to handle! hyper….ventilating..<\/span><\/p>\n

Charles Lewis III \u200f@simonpatt<\/strong>
\nPeter Jackson wants to expand “The Hobbit” from a bloated two-parter to a bloated THREE-parter. I want to see it, but dude… Let. It. Go.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nick \u200f@nicknewt<\/strong>
\nWait, what’s this I’m hearing about The Hobbit stretching to three movies instead of two now? I’m not sure what I think of that.<\/span><\/p>\n

Grace \u200f@InJinSong<\/strong>
\nI want Hobbit Trilogy. I kinda sensed PJ has set his mind on Trilogy when he interviewed at Comic con. Now No one can stop him.<\/span><\/p>\n
