Del Toro Teams Up With Jackson

Categorized under Raza | Tags: Film, Guillermo del Toro, Peter Jackson, The Hobbit

OOOOH. Now that is an interesting idea.

Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro, who produced "Pan's Labyrinth," will direct two big-budget films based on J.R.R Tolkien's book "The Hobbit," the Hollywood studios involved said Thursday.
After months of media speculation, New Line and MGM studios confirmed del Toro, 43, would join New Zealand producer Peter Jackson on the projects.

 The Unapologetic Mexican has been known to scribble a few things besides meandering, verbose, self-congratulatory blog posts. However, they are rarely as fun. Finally, let it be known that Nezua first dared bust out this Habanero of Truth at exactly 4:56 PM.  | Top | View blog reactions

I love del Toro — The Devil's Backbone and Pan's Labyrinth are two of the best movies I've seen in recent years. I was very underwhelmed by Jackson's Lord of the Rings movies, though; I'll try to be cautiously optimistic about The Hobbit.
