[link=http://www.wetanz.com/holics/index.php?itemid=695&catid=2#more]A conversation with Executive Produce Peter Jackson and Director Guillermo Del Toro (!) on the distant, but upcoming, movie based off of Tolkein's The Hobbit. Yes, del Toro IS directing! And lurking in the shadows like some unidentified presence is the thought of a second film to "bridge the gap" between The Hobbit and LotR.[/link]
 
I am a fan of Del Toro, I recently saw his new movie The Orphanage and I loved it (Not as much as his other big hit Pan's Labyrinth but it was still good). Hopefully this'll be good, too.
 
this could be amazing or a flop. Unfortunately Del Toro has stated on at least one occasion that this isn't his favorite genre (to put it lightly.) he'll get fame for it and i think it will be really good, but i don't think you'll get a lot of what you saw from something like pan's labyrinth. He still has to work under/with Peter Jackson and New Line. That said, i think this could still be amazing and so long as they take care for certain points in the book.

There are still a lot of rumors floating around as to who will be doing what. I know so far that Ron Perlman won't be playing smaug but del toro stated that he has other uses for him.
 
A hobbit movie, maybe (I actually didn't like the LOTR movies, they ruined the pictures of everyone I had formed in my head). A new movie that "bridges the gap" between The Hobbit and LOTR? NOOOOO!!!!! I'm on Christopher Tolkiens side. That is just wrong!
And a movie base on The Silmarillion? That is just crazy talk!
