MTV: Andy Serkis [Gollum] and Ian McKellan [Gandalf] are involved though, yes?

Del Toro: We can be pretty sure that we're getting back Andy, Ian, [composer] Howard Shore and [conceptual designer] John Howe. I am going to supplement the team of designers with other choices. People that come from the comic book worlds, not in the superhero sense, but the darker, more European type of comics. We're going to enhance the team of artists that conceptualized the first trilogy to create this earlier, more golden time and the way it starts to get tarnished.


That's definitely a good sign!

There was recently a live chat done with Guillermo del Toro and Peter Jackson. They answered several questions about The Hobbit including:


Chat posted:

Q. aust: Will Howard Shore be returning to do the score?

Guillermo_del_Toro: Yes- absolutely, Shore is teh VOICE of these films and we will absolutely be invited back. Peter and Fran have talked to him a couple of times already and Ive exchanged emails about the subject. He will return.


There you have it -- from the director himself.

Yep. Nice, i actually came to post that i've read Shore WILL be back. Doug Adams, who's writing a book on the LotR music, strongly hinted a months ago even that Shore would return for The Hobbit.

From what i gather, it doesn't sound like PJ and Shore were really at odds over the King Kong score. Sounds like the studio itself forced Jackson's hand. Doug Adams said something like "that which plagued King Kong will not be present with The Hobbit". So, it sounded to me like it was Universal studio heads.
