Elijah Wood shares some Hobbit rumors

In a recent interview Elijah Wood mentioned that The Hobbit will indeed be broken into 2 seperate movies. However, only 1 movie will cover the book’s timeline. Apperantly he thinks that the 2nd movie will actually cover the time period after The Hobbit and before the Lords of the Rings Trilogy.

In the LOTR books there are some brief mentions of other Bilbo adventures. If they do follow through with this 2nd movie they will probably have to write new material not covered by Tolkien. To me this seems like a bad move. I hope he is wrong.
