Peter Jackson went on record at Comic-Con that he wants to shoot more footage for The Hobbit. According to our partners at Omelete, Jackson said this could turn into two things:

1) There could be an extended version.

2) Jackson may add a third chapter to The Hobbit.

Currently The Hobbit is split into two parts: An Unexpected Journey opens on December 14, 2012; There and Back Again follows on December 13, 2013. It would be a big (but welcome) surprise if we are now in store for three Hobbit movies over the next three Decembers. We will definitely keep you posted as the story develops. With that in mind, The Hobbit will close out Warner Bros’ panel at Comic-Con, which just started—so check back very soon for our recap of that. Hit the jump for the trailer and official synopsis for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey.
