Del Toro departs Hobbit film Mark Send a noteboard - 31/05/2010 09:51:28 AM
Guillermo Del Toro has announced that he is no longer going to direct the Hobbit or indeed the second LOTR related film due to delays in it's production caused by the difficulties surround MGM. He shall continue to act as one of the screenwriters however. The announcement at theonering.net is below.

I think this is a rather sad development, as I felt Del Toro's style was ideally suited to the Hobbit movie. I now wonder who will take over and how long will it be until filming can actually begin

No, del Toro is Pan's Labyrinth and Hellboy. - 02/06/2010 08:10:00 AM 689 Views
So he's made one good movie and one atrocious one. - 03/06/2010 01:32:50 AM 627 Views
I haven't seen Hellboy. - 03/06/2010 04:25:45 AM 738 Views
I'm sure he meant Pan's Labyrinth was the good one. Hellboy sucked big floppy donkey dicks. *NM* - 03/06/2010 05:27:03 AM 353 Views
Yes. *NM* - 04/06/2010 06:05:26 AM 323 Views
Hellboy 2 is AWEsome! *NM* - 03/06/2010 10:20:39 AM 328 Views
PoA was better than the movies after it, surely. - 02/06/2010 08:36:14 PM 773 Views
Disagree. PoA was better than tCoS, but that's because Chamber was a travesty of a novel. - 03/06/2010 01:32:31 AM 678 Views
I don't get why people love the PoA movie so much. - 03/06/2010 01:59:50 AM 633 Views
How can you claim it's better than the later movies? - 03/06/2010 09:39:28 AM 772 Views
It's funny how people can't agree on this ever - 03/06/2010 10:20:13 AM 748 Views
You are talking about the books, right? *NM* - 03/06/2010 07:25:47 PM 299 Views
No no, film. - 03/06/2010 07:42:44 PM 650 Views
Goblet was good. - 03/06/2010 08:14:46 PM 682 Views
PoA was saved by David Thewlis being amazing - 03/06/2010 10:47:01 AM 632 Views
