| Ari_Gold said: great movie, its by Guillermo Del Toro, he directed Pan's Labyrinth which is also in Spanish. He just signed a deal to make the Hobbit movies. |
I just heard about that, and I think Guillermo definitely has the talent for a project like the Hobbit. My only worry is his knowledge of the source material. I seem to recall him mentioning that he has never read the LotR in an interview a while back, though he did say that he read and loved the Hobbit.
However, I may be confusing him with the director of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. But as for his work on Pan's Labrynth and Hellboy, it seems like he'd do well with the Hobbit, so long as PJ oversees the project as a whole.
