The Hobbit is going in a new direction

So apparently Peter Jackson is too busy to direct the Hobbit movie, but Guillermo Del Toro might be the new director. YESSSSS!!!! I am so happy Peter is not directing the Hobbit as I thought his translation of Tolkien's world was horrible. However, Peter is going to be the producer, so who knows how much influence he will still have on the new Movies.

I think Guillermo is a great match for a director of the Hobbit. I like his style based on Pan's Labyrinth. What do you guys think?

edit: Sorry, I forgot to provide a link. There is also a news story about this on the one ring.net.

    I think he is a brilliant director and I am also eagerly awaiting his rendition of At the Mountains of Madness and his possible remake of Frankenstein.

    Oh, wow, he's making At the Mountains of Madness? That should rock pretty hard.

    I recently heard that New Line underpaid Peter Jackson and the Tolkien estate. The Tolkien family was suppose to get 7% of gross receipts and ended up with less than $100K. Oh, here we go New Line gets Sued.

    That alone will send the Hobbit in a different direction.

    The rights to the Lord of the Rings movies were kind of messed up.
