[Quiet Man Cometh]

So looked up The Hobbit on IMDb to check some stuff up. I heard that Jackson wasn't acting as director but was senior producer though IMDb has him listed as director.

I also noticed the screen writer, Fran Walsh, is the same woman he worked with for all three LOTR movies and King Kong. It's likely that The Hobbit will be along the same lines as the other movie.

Oh, and also because I feel like mentioning it, one can't really blame Jackson for everything that happens in the movie. Directors don't get free reign, producers like to stick their noses in too, and even the creditted screen writer doesn't have total control over what actually ends up in the movie.
