He did the hell out of the 3 Lord of the Rings movies, putting everything he had into them and did great.

Just like the new Batman movies, a fresh start will be extremely successful as Del Toro is a visionary.

Pan’s Labyrinth was an incredible film that firmly established del Toro’s “fantasy cred”.

@probitionate… I really hope you’re trying to be funny with a satirical invocation of über-geek qasi literary criticism. If so, I offer a meager chuckle, if not… wow.

@Sir Jig-A-Lot… “Lord of the Rings saga has had it’s run while HP has not”?!? uh…what? Do you have any sort of defensible context for this statement? I think this is pretty damn subjective and ought to be qualified as such. I’d much rather see The Hobbit made than any more formulaic Harry Potter movies, but that’s just my opinion.

I hope McKellan is still up for doing Gandalf…tough to think of anyone better!

Del Toro’s Gandalf better be a badass. I hope his Middle Earth looks different from Jackson’s

However…

There’s a few lies I’ve read on the net stating that Peter Jackson was too busy to make the Hobbit (which is complete utter bull shit & propaganda)…

Jackson & New Line Cinema are in a Law Suit over disputed monies that Jackson is claiming that New Line Cinema have short paid him for the “Fellowship of the Ring”… So he claims… Hence he knocked back New Lines Offer to him to have him Direct the Hobbit until the lawsuit was sorted out.

I am extremely excited that the Hobbit is going ahead… But let’s not forget, none of this would be possible & neither “New Line” nor “MGM” would have the opportunity to back these films if it wasn’t for the great imagination & directing ability of Peter Jackson…

10 points for Peter Jackson & Lets hope Del Toro won’t let us down & the great job the Peter Jackson began…

And what about Peter Jackson is he going to be involved in the project in any way or not?
And finally what about H.P. Lovecraft’s Mountains of madness Del Toro said that he whants to do it but when?
