Interesting articles. I like what he said about the dwarves needing to be independent characters.

I liked these articles too. I like what he says and I think I trust him. It sounds like he's going to make Smaug insanely stunning (I cannot wait to see that first sight of him in the theatres), and the dwarves are going to be great. It's good that he wants to make everything believable and how respectful he is of Tolkien. You know, I think we can expect a lot of good from these movies.
Oh, and three? Why would they make three?

Good! Every little interview that pops up, I feel a lot more comfortable with him directing (News-flash...lol) and he is excepted a lot more in my opinion. Now that we know how he thinks about each character, and smaug, we'll start seeing how nervous he is to make this better than we think. The guy really is a genius, he's really freakin' weird, but he's a genius mind you. I think he understands Peter's vision Pretty well (pretty well i repeat, not as well as Peter would understand... duh). I think we'll see lots of Del Toro, and lots of Phillipa and Fran, but Jackson is farther out of the equation, a little farther than i was thinking he'd be. Del Toro is so fun to hear talk and read. He's just such a funny guy. Watch his commentary for Pan's Labyrinth when he talks about the horses. He totally is right!

I suppose they could split it. Where would they do it, though? When they're on the edge of Mirkwood, maybe? Or even better, when they open the door to Smaug's lair.

Splitting it would be the best idea. I think it should be around the time with Mirkwood or Beorn. I think it would be a lot more easier working with two parts (as I have said before).
