Excerpt:

Academy Award-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson is behind one of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful movie series of all time with his "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. Now, Jackson is returning to Middle Earth with the series prequel, "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," once again based on a book by J.R.R. Tolkien. Jackson sat down with us in New York and told us about, among other things, his working relationship with Sir Ian McKellen (who returns to the series as Gandalf the Grey) and also gave us a progress report on the next two Hobbit films already in the works. CBSNEWS. COM Let's start with the books. "The Lord of The Rings" novels are thousands of pages long, but "The Hobbit" is only a few hundred pages. How challenging was it working with less source material this time around?
