it really is too bad he's leaving because he brings great visual style to his flicks. i bet he would have done some cool things with this project. hellboy II was the cat's ass.

You'd want to be paid a LOT to spend that much time in New Zealand...

An alternative is that guy that did District 9. Jackson picked him to the Halo movie, which got canned and then turned into D9. He seems like he could do it, with Jackson's help.

On May 30th, director Guillermo del Toro made the surprising announcement that he would no longer be directing The Hobbit and its follow-up. At the time, "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy director Peter Jackson said:
Guillermo is co-writing the Hobbit screenplays with Philippa Boyens, Fran Walsh and myself, and happily our writing partnership will continue for several more months, until the scripts are fine tuned and polished. New Line and Warner Bros will sit down with us this week, to ensure a smooth and uneventful transition, as we secure a new director for the Hobbit. We do not anticipate any delay or disruption to ongoing pre-production work.
Our guess is that meeting went rather well, as Jackson is now reportedly taking over the director's chair for both films, in addition to executive producing and co-writing! His deal is being negotiated right now with New Line/Warner Bros. and MGM. Jackson will have to extricate himself from other project obligations to move forward with this.
Warner Bros./New Line tells ComingSoon.net that nothing is confirmed yet.\
- Well I was kind of hoping it would be someone different, just so we get something different than LOTR.CygnusZero4

I can't believe they're going to use the same Bilbo actor.
- why not?Dodecahedron
- way too oldmonospaced
- they're notbrandelec
- actually its the guy from the other Hobbit movie that nobody saw not the older guy from LOTR. Bilbo was supposed to be old in that.Dodecahedron
- ...supposed to be old in that.Dodecahedron
- got it...I thought they were talking about the old Bilbo in LOTR.monospaced
- Who gives a shit, honestly?:)abettertomorrow
- still though, he was the exact same character in the exact same movie. they could have tried someone fresh.Dodecahedron

LotR sucked so much it looked like a well made TV drama ...with no drama though.
