The Hobbit movies writing team announced

Peter Jackson and Guillermo del ToroThe web is abuzz with news that Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, the writing team that adapted Lord of the Rings for the screen, will be reuniting to script the two Hobbit movies. If only for continuity with the Rings trilogy, this would be good news, but it's worth remembering that one of the eleven Oscars garnered by the third movie in the trilogy, Return of the King, was the Oscar for Best Writing, Adapted Screenplay.

Given director Guillermo Del Toro's own writing credits (including an Oscar nomination for Best Writing, Original Screenplay in 2007 for Pan's Labyrinth) it is no surprise that he will be joining the team to co-write the scripts.
