New Hobbit Movie

I have some bittersweet news for all LOTR
fans... New Line has finally agreed to make a
2 part Hobbit movie due for release in
Dec,2010. But P.Jackson's artistic
pretensions have atypically swollen his ego
to appoint G.Del Toro (Pans Labyrinth,
Hellboy) to direct instead. Although I
acknowlege DelToro as a good, workmanlike
director, he simply doesn't have Jacksons
talent or vision to properly capture epic
scope & pathos of Tolkiens novel & I'm
concerned he'll ruin the film by interpreting
it in his typically spanish rustic way, which
will wreck continuity of previous classic
LOTR movies. I think Jackson owes it to all
the loyal fans who created his current
success to at least direct said movie
himself, or compromise appointing a more
suitable director chosen by an online fan
petition...

Its another pet hate that the hobbit was
never filmed first...typical hollywood.
Anyone whose read the hobbit knows its the
precursor to thr LOTR

IMHO Pete The Hobbit is a better book than
LOTR. As its plot is faster paced & Bilbo's
story arc & developing heroism is always
gripping reading. The novel has a very visual
style & pace which ideally lends itself to
film. I only hope DelToro realises the great
responsibility he's been given as this is
destined to become as classic as Wizard of Oz
or Star Wars if filmed properly...
