Actually it says there will be only seven months between the second and third ones, but yes, great news. WE HATES WAITING, PRECIOUS!

I am just worried about splitting this book into 3 movies. The stakes in LOTR were as high as they could get. End of the world. Evil overrunning Middle-earth. Heavy stuff. This book, although charming and full of adventure, is about a bunch of dwarves getting their gold back.
I don't know, LadyBrowncoat...the LOTR was also 3 books, and there was still plenty of stuff that Tolkien fans were outraged that they left out. By making The Hobbit into three movies, they should be able to not only get every damn thing in, but also have most of Tolkien's afterthoughts that are in the appendicies of LOTR. Though not as much at stake, I think it's still going to be epic. Sure, the objective starts off a lot more simplistic but 1.) it's the journey that's interesting and 2.) it ends with the Battle of Five Armys...yeah, sorry, it's going to be awesome. LOL
"Like too little butter spread over too much bread", this is what I am feeling about the material from the Hobbit and it being spread over three movies....
I'm with you Caveman. That's awesome news but I wish it was out NOW. I'm really excited for this.
Sarcastic, by the date listed for the final movie, July 2014, and the first one releasing this December (2012), that is three movies released within a 19 month window...
Indeed...but the release date for the second movie is still December of 2013...a year apart for the first 2, 7 months between 2 and 3.

This is really good news to hear that each of the films will open just seven months apart from each other!
