Del Toro to Direct The Hobbit
There have been rumours about this flying around the internet for a while but it has now been confirmed that Guillermo del Toro will direct the film version of The Hobbit as well as a sequel that will link this story to The Lord of The Rings.
Peter Jackson will produce.
As with Lord of the Rings, the films will be shot back to back in New Zealand and are planned for release in 2010 and 2011.
Let me say this again: The man who made The Lord of The Rings trilogy is to produce an adaptation of The Hobbit which will be directed by the man who gave us Pan?s Labyrinth. This has Most Anticipated Film for two years running stamped all over it.
