Guillermo Del Toro to Direct Two Hobbit Movies?

You would have thought that with the ax buried, Peter Jackson could fit his newly svelte self through the door and get the job done. Or bring in Sam Raimi, but no apparently New Line wants Guillermo Del Toro who still is last year’s hot director, which means in Hollywoodspeak, it’s time to attach him to every hot project that’s been sitting for so long it got cold, including another Harry Potter and the two Hobbit movies carved out of the living breathing and bleeding skin of the original novel. Now Guillermo Del Toro is actually a terrible choice for the job, almost as terrible as Tim Burton would be, these are man whose sensibilities are completely wrong for the story and completely out of whack with Tolkiens’. If Peter Jackson wasn’t quite right, Guillermo Del Toro is quite wrong and operating in a while other dimension from the one needed here. It’s a terrible idea, which means in Hollywood that it’s almost certain to happen.
