Speaking with Variety, he said: “I don't think so. I've read that idea in the media, which is funny.
“I understand why they would think that because [the studio] New Line originally split up The Hobbit into three [movies] instead of two.
“It would make sense because it would give me more turf to develop the characters and more of a canvas to develop the journey.
“But to be honest, there wasn't a conversation about that and now we are designing the story as one single film.”
