I'll admit I'm still kind of disappointed that Del Toro backed out of directing "The Hobbit." I was really curious to see what he would do with the film(s) since he's already made so many terrific and imaginative fantasy films.
But whenever I feel disappointed about it, I remind myself that PETER JACKSON took over for him. That's the best possible scenario for "The Hobbit"!
Still, Del Toro's probably the only other director I'd trust with material as beloved as Tolkien's.
Pan's Labyrinth was a great movie but when BDT gave the same treatment to Hellboy 2 he screwed it up royally... if he does the same to The Hobbit well shame on him
Del Toro is out, Martin Freeman is rumored to be the choice for Bilbo, and supposedly they may start filming in January at least according to theoneringdotnet,
Of course all this may change at a moment's notice.
i am super excited to see how well they will do the battle of 5 armys,,,,they better not screw this up,,it already upsets me that they are making it into 2 parts (im sure so they can make more money off of the story)
I would prefer if Jackson had more reins on this. Which, he probably will. lol I just love how he envisions and brings to life Middle Earth. Without Peter, The Hobbit would suck. I believe he's the only one who can truly do it justice. ^-^ So I'm just glad Jackson is on board as well. :D

@machokingwwf totally agree with yo on that. if MGM ever gets their act together then this should be a great film, but.......?????? MGM should just sell the rights to The Hobbit outright and then fold itself into oblivion especially after morons like ted turner ( may he burn in hell ) screwed up MGM totally
I'm so glad that Del Toros doing. Pans Labyrinth was brilliant and so was the orphanage........Hellboy was a lil gay though. Way to tell Peter Jackson to keep his filthy fuckin hands off it. LOTR was the worst 61/2 hours of my life. I couldnt make it the whole nine
@bobjangle11 Umm... Peter Jackson's style won 17 oscars. Just because Peter Jackson isn't marked as 'director' doesn't mean he doesn't have a say so in anything, with PETER JACKSON being the PRODUCER (Those are key words) he's going to be on set, most likely helping Del Toros. By the way, good job insulting one of the best directors alive.
@TheJamesDun thanks? U shud watch more movies if u think he's one of the best directors alive. I bet u dress up as gandalf every year for halloween huh? faggot
@bobjangle11 Granted, District 9 wasn't one of my favorite movies. Although you are being immature about it, the whole Lord of the Rings trilogy was suppost to have the mature feel of Peter Jackson's films. If you're expecting any different from The Hobbit, you're wasting your time. Drown in reality.
The Hobbit stands a great chance on winning the oscars but i may assume to be doubted. Nevertheless, the Hobbit is the final and yet before the lord of the rings was made. UPDATE: Tobey Maguire as rumored to be Bilbo Baggins has been backfired, which means he'll still be the spidey on the 4th Installment of the Spider-man franchise. Final conclusions, the best composer who performed Lord of the rings; Howard Shore has confirmed to return and compose for the Hobbit which i believe in two parts.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I found Pan's Labyrith to be far less interesting than the hype surrounding it. It certainly didn't deserve multi oscars. It had somewhat good art direction as far as the fantasy characters, which The Hobbit won't need. The second Hellboy was a total failure because the story telling was so inconsistent and the movie was so effects driven. Let's hope The Hobbit is not going to be bastardized into another effects driven stupid movie meant to bring in the teenager dollars for a few months.
Even though I'm not a huge del Toro fan, I think he will be perfect for the hobbit because of its unrealistic talking wolves, eagles, dragon etc. which one director could just settle for CGI beavers (Narnia), but Guillermo will definately bring the Hobbit characters to life.
Each fantasy/horror film should be directed by Guillermo Del Toro,every fantasy should be directed by P.J.,and every war/drama film by Steven Spielberg.
Three best directors ever.
I think The Hobbit 1 and 2 will be great,maybe even better that LOTR(if that is possible) because there are now both Guillermo and P.J. in crew.I can't wait to see it.
@trpamhrh3 don't ever compare peter jackson to Steven Spielberg. U shud also quit limiting the story telling ability of directors to genres. Steven Spielberg made many great movies not war related. But every movie Peter Jackson makes is a 3 hour pile of shit. Hey lets blow shit up and say fuck you to character development and writing. Top 3 worst is more like it
@bobjangle11 Stephen Spielberg is good, but not amazing. Jurassic Park is rather mediocre... The story is rather scetchy, and everything is unrealistic; because if it were real dinosours they ALL would have died.
You know nothing about Film or Filmschool. I have friends who went into film school, look up DoubleAAProductions if you want to see one. They will tell you that Peter Jackson is a great director as well. Go ahead, ask a REAL director who is good and who isn't, kid.
@TheJamesDun haha Jurassic Park was unrealistic? Ur knocking that while simultaneously defending a movie that stars a hobbit, a wizard and an elf? Don't get ur logic dude. Anywho find me one fucking movie Peter Jackson did that was as good as schindlers list or saving private ryan...............Please don't say king kong. I hope ur friends r smarter than u
@bobjangle11 Judging by the comments on your channel, it looks like nobody likes you. Judging by your attitude it looks like you are trying to make up for yourself since your dad never loved you. Do I hear you say, don't say King Kong? Why? Because King Kong DID? Retard.
@TheJamesDun U stalking me now faggot? Maybe Ur daddy loved u a lil too much. U prolly cudda burned me with that last comment, but ur not very good with words. Y don't u just go watch the return of the King for the 400th time, and beat off to elijah wood in his shire wear.
@bobjangle11 Salking you? When someone says that I'm stalking them when their commenting on me being a loser, I don't take them seriously. OBVIOUSLY I did burn you, because YOU just contradicted yourself. Earlier you said that you couldn't wait till the Hobbit, now you completely insulted The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. So engage yourself in ecoistic carnal knowledge you turkeyfuck (That's not a cussword, figure it out) Don't even bother replying.
I'm hoping that 2 films covering a short novel ,will be more faithful to the original than 3 films covering 3parts(6 books) of LOTR. Maybe Del Toro won't try to "improve" it as much as Jackson.
Whether PJ tried to improve it or not, he did rake in 3 billion dollars in revenue and 17 oscars, with praise from fans all over the world.
Guillermo Del Toro is going to make it his own vision, just like PJ did, and knowing Del Toro, he will make it an almost seamless and perfect transition to Lord of the Rings.
I'm sure the backers are delighted. In isolation ,the films are fine ,fantasy productions.Most LOTR (books) fans that I spoke to ,were relieved that he didn't "cock it up" too much,but mildy irritated by unnecessary changes- necessary ones we could handle!
Yeah, he did change a LOT, but i think a lot of it fit the movie. I read the LOTR series `before the movies, so I consider them two different ways of telling a story, but I can't decide which one I liked better.
I believe Del Toro will do the same, he'll make it his own vision, but it might be for the best, because it's his own way of telling the story.
I don't consider them "two different ways of telling a story." Jackson's work is a film adaptation of THE story(Tolkien's creativity and genius).Some changes could be justified on grounds of editing a book to fit 3 hours of film. However, that is harder to justify when large chunks of extra ,made up material , was added .(Aragorn-Arwen love interest was intrusive for the most part) and WTF were Elves doing at Helms Deep,yet no Eomer?
The Elves coming to help at Helms deep was a marvelous add in, in fact making helms deep a lot better than the book experience to me. When the elves came, the whole theatre (including me) broke out in applause.
Arwen and Aragorn were a necessary to add in from the appendices. It gave the film base and substance and the audience loved it, making Aragorn a memorable character.
I think Peter Jackson made exceptional adjustments, but I did miss Tom Bombadil =(.
When the elves arrived ,I thought "oh no!" The Rohirrim were short changed by the film version of The Two Towers. Theoden was made weak and dithering,leaning on Aragorn. The book relationship between Aragorn and Eomer was developed at Helm's Deep.(where was Eomer?)
Jackson seems to have an obsession with elves .
The book was not about Aragorn,it was about the little people -starts and finishes at Bag End!
Romantic stories are two a penny in Hollywood this was supposed to be heroic fantasy.
It was Romantic and Heroic. Where do you get off saying tat aragorr wasn't a hero. The movie, if well analyzed, is very epic in every way possible. Teodan was not made to look weak, look at him at the end of the battle, when he says "Ride out with me." and they slay all in their way. As for Eomer and Aragorn, not much of a loss. I'd rather see a love interest between him and Arwen than a closer relationship with him and Eomer. The Elves arriving didn't make it any less amazing of a story. at all
@danzerstar53 i doubt it will come out december 2011. they start filming this summer and its going to take them 2.5 years to finish it. i say december 2012 for part one and dec 2013 for hobbit 2
@ZidaneDaMan10 But Jackson is directing it, right? I'm so confused with all these comments. First it's Toro, then it's Jackson. WHO is directing it as of this year? O_o -crosses fingers- please say Jackson.
I'm not sure why some people think that its out of Del Toros style to do a Tolkein movie. Its not at all. Tolkein is much more like Guilmeros films than alot of other fantasy authors out there.
If Del Toro did an adaptation of The Wheel of Time, Eragon or The Shannra series then it would be out of his style. That stuff is more sterotypical fantasy.
I think we shouldn't panic. With a big budget any film can be good... except pearl Harbour of course. Peter Jacksons earlier work sucked. All we can do is hope that these too can get it right. I mean look at transformers. AN absolute AWESUM movie, and it was directed by the friggin worst director in history.
You guys should remember (if you saw the Appendices on the Extended LOTR Cuts) that there were several other location directors on the set for the Lord of the Rings. In addition, the major look of things wasn't really decided by Peter Jackson, but was engineered by Alan Lee, John Howe, and the members of the design team. Peter Jackson is an incredible director, give him a little faith in his decision of Guillermo Del Toro.
This guy will do just fine - as long as he reads the book.
The Goblins of the Misty Mountains are a bit diff than the Orcs of Mordor etc. - Giant Eagles that talk will be a real poser, w/o them appearing too cartoonish...Beorn who towers over Gandalf... I don't know how u are going to not put a chapter on the cutting room floor, i hope not , every chapter is enthralling
thanks that makes me feel better about this I mean I liked del toro's work he's got a great imagination his movie have a great old fashion rustic alot of other fantasy movie by other director's are so cheesy I'm glad hollywood chose two geniuses to make this movie
I've seen some your work. I've listened to some of your interviews. I'm thinking you might like some of my musical notions. So, when you get some time in your mornings, especially when your writing is bogged down, take a listen to some of my songs at YouTube - BertGriffin88.
I'm sorry guys but he's just not good enough to make The Hobbit. His work in Hellboy 2 was way to actiony and there was very little story plot, Pan's Labyrinth was way to fantasy like and had a very muggy feeling to it that will not work with The Hobbit. Peter Jackson is a phenomenal director probably one of a kind and I don't think this director will bring the realistic fantasy type that Peter brought. Also I don't think Peter will have enough power to change it to a mix of his and others.
I'd have to disagree with you. Del Toro thrives on creating supernatural worlds and believe that with the production of Jackson, they will create a world that is unbelievable. I'm just wondering how they are going to stretch this story into two movies since the book is fairly short.
Peter Jackson directed horror comedies before directing Lord of the Rings. I doubt more than 2 % of the people who loved what he did with LotR watched the films he did before it.
Just remember that Peter Jackson was the one that invited Guillermo to direct the movie. Why did Peter Jackson invited Guillermo and not other director? Well its very easy, check Guillermo's previous works so you can have an idea of the imagination of this man.
Jackson isn't just gonna be an executive producer. He's also gonna be one of the writers along with Del Toro (and Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, same writers from LotR) and Weta will still be designing the weapons, costumes, effects, etc. Howard Shore will be back as the composer too.
So pretty much everyone from LotR will be back, so the "vibe" should not be that different. It will just have a different director.
I was a little worried at first. But since Peter Jackson is at least executive producer that means that it will have a lot more of that LOTR feel. I can imagine him givin' him tips on what all to keep his mind on in the Tolkein universe.
I really wouldn't like Del Toro to direct The Hobbit. Del Toro's movies have much gore, and one of the things I loved from Peter Jackson is that he didn't use gore in The Lord of the Rings. Do you fancy blood in The Hobbit, a tale written mainly for children??
Well, I think the 1977 movie was intended for children, and was sufficient for it's purpose. However, the youth of today's age *want* action films, and directors realize that's the only way to get sales. Now, I hope that heads won't roll and blood splatter the camera, by any means, but I think the Hobbit would be a better film if it had some action, rather than a cloud of dust sealing off battles from view. I personally agree with you that Jackson would be a better director, however.
I'm totally for Del Toro. Why you ask me, I tell you, Del Toro's films aren't just about action and gore. Look at Pan's Labyrinth, a mystic and dark movie. Sure there is some blood, but that's only the backgroundstory (which actually resembles the actual mainline). However I absolutely adore his Costumes (Angel of Death, Childeater, Pan, etc.) This kind of costume would totally fit into the hobbit. And how would you do the final battle in the hobbits without gore. Oo
If you're going to refer to Del Toro's previous films to assume what he's gonna do with "The Hobbit", you may want to ask yourself the same with Peter Jackson. Before PJ made the LotR films, he was infamous for making a lot of morbid, disgusting, and gory movies, too. Didn't stop him from making the masterpieces that are the LotR films now.
Really, give people more credit. These directors are working for passion. They have real talent, and they shouldn't be limited to their previous films.
really love my mother deeply... And i had to do this... Its from the love of my heart. Flour2 ead this but didnt do it and her mom died. You don't want it to happen to youu, eh? Then copy and paste to 3 videos in the next hour. Or, your mother shall die on the strike of 12:00 midnight..
Great Book amd hopefully great film LOTR trilogy was fantastic. .......Peter Jackson is a good director and im glad he will be producer of the Hobbit.
Jackson and LOTR put Hollywood to shame! Great Stuff.
Ive got very high hopes for the oncoming Hobbit movie. Being a HUGE fan of Lord of the Rings and what Peter Jackson accomplished, I was obviously a little nervous finding out he wouldnt be directing The Hobbit.
Discovering it will/may be Guillermo Del Toro however, has put me at great ease!
just goes to show that the best directors DO NOT COME FROM AMERICA!!!!!! <<<== Del toro was born in GUADALAJARA, MEXICO.. Mexico lies in the AMERICAN CONTINENT.. A continent that was named after the Italian Amerigo Vespucci
whom realized that COLUMBUS had actually discovered a NEW CONTINENT.. Amerigo= America= America runs from Tierra del fuego Argentina all the way up to the allutian islands
Hellboy 2 was as profound and philosophically complex as GDT's other artsy movies (which most morons obviously haven't seen, or understood). If you completely missed that part, then Hobbit is probably not for you no matter who directs it.
creo que el estupidete argentino no es mas que un saco de porqueria sin cultura. no soy mexicano y creo que el cine mexicano a la fecha es muy bueno. mi abuelo tenia una frase "si eres pendejo mejor no abras la boca y se los confirmes" oye che no opines mas que el cine argentino sea una porqueria te creo jmas ganaron un oscar jajajaja
No tengo nada con respecto a guillermo de toro, pero sin embargo peter jackson debeia dirigir el hobbit, jackson tiene una vision mas clara con respecto a la novela de tolkien.
mas clara? lo que hizo fue destruir 50 años de duro trabajo por parte de tolkien , obvio un monton de partessaco personajes, y al final casi hace que aragorn pelee con Sauron al final dela pelicula, sin hablar de las modificaiones en los personajes, Del Toro dice qeu va a respetar el libro al pie de la letra, y eso me parece mas importante por respeto a tolkien.
El lenguaje literario y el cinematográfico son mundos completamente distintos y esto adquiere mucho más sentido al referirnos a las obras de Tolkien, que el mismo definió como antidramáticas. Considero a Del Toro un buen director, creo que la película/s distará mucho de defraudar a quien sepa apreciarla; claro, que siempre hay algún friki descerebrado y fanático que con su actitud y sus palabras lo único que consigue es desprestigiar la obra que tanto idolatra.
no puedes comparar el mundo cinematográfico con el literario, obvio los libros siempre serán lo mejor del mundo, pero creo que jackson hizo lo imposible, quitando escenas que ni iban al caso, pero para mi son de las mejores en el cine fantastico; dime otra pelicula después de ELSLA ,, han sido grandes fracasos, y peores adaptaciones que dejan mucho que desearr! quitando a harry potter, que le va aun bien XD.
It's gonna be weird because the elves in rivendell in LOTR movies are way more serious then the ones in the hobbit. I think Vigo should come back as Bard
People!! English Plz!!!! Anywho... I'm excited to see this movie... I can't wait till it comes out. I hope I'm back in Germany to see it... if not, I'll download it. :D
I can't wait for the Hobbit movie and it's sequel. I hope the Hobbit stays true to the book, i can't wait to see the Battle of the Five Armies, the wood elves in Mirkwood, Beorn, and i hope that the sequel will show the White Council's attack on the Necromancer(sauron) in dol guldor.
Guillermo del Toro es muy buen director todas sus pelis me han gustado, lastima que ya no haya hecho nada cien por ciento mexicano como lo fue "Cronos", espero vuelva y dirija una peli mexicana que mucha falta hace al cine mexicano sobresalir, y si él vuelve a dirigir en mexico, podria resurgir la industria en Mexico.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
jajjaa mexico es una mierda por favor....
de algo que estamos todos de acuerdo es que las peliculas las hacen los yanquies , y las hacen perfectas tienen 80 años de prueba y error, no se puede competir con eso, menos con el acento mexicano, de que peuden ahcer una pelicula? de la pobreza o de la historia de hidalgo? jaja.dejemoslo ahi.
Se nota que no sabes nada sobre el cine Mexicano, ni sus inicios que inclusive fueron mejores al cine Estadounidense. ¿De que se puede hacer peliculas en Mexico?, creo que de muchas cosas, no solo de pobreza, que existe tambien en EEUU por cierto y no hablan de ella salvo documentales aislados. Tenemos una gran historia, folklore, ETC, la diferencia que aqui no se invierta en peliculas como negocio, pero el talento existe. No puedo creer que digas que las peliculas gringas son perfectas!
Primero que nada: ¿Qué es para ti una pelicula buena?. Para mi, es aquella que deje pensando, habra la mente y me entretenga. Forrest y gladiator se me hacen buenas peliculas, pero no porque tuvieron un presupuesto millonario detras las hizo lo que son. Busca: "Y tu mama tambien", "cronos", "amores perros", la gran mayoria de las peliculas de los 40, 50 son muy buenas. Te recomiendo una de terror, sin ningun efecto especial, que se llama "el libro de piedra". Te hace temblar!.
uy hermano, creo que te equivocas, prefiero mil veces ciudad de dios a forest gump o gladiador, no digo que el cine latino sea mejor que el gringo o europeo, pero tenemos directores y peliculas excelentes, sobre todo en brasil, argentina y mexico, que serian los tres paises que tienen industrias mas desarrolladas
si usted revisa esto ps quisiera decirle q ps la verdad no soy un bn ciniasta y ps creame q ultimamente e pensado alguna forma d verlo psssssssssss la verdad creame q lo ultimo q quiero es hacerme famoso o popular yo no lo veo con ningun interes d ste tipo vera yo cuando tenia como 13 años yo era un gran fanatico o mejor dicho lo sigo siendo de una gran serie de video juegos llamado soul river
yo soy muy verdadero fan d esto y ps la verdad yo si me creo muy mexicano tal ves no pase nada con usted pero yo digo q el q el q no intenta nada es por no es humano la verdad quisiera q usted viera la posibilidad d refleccionar esto creame q ps la verdad aora peleo por muchas cosas y una es q usted me aga caso
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
hopefully del toro will do a better job than jackson. my opinion is that jackson`s interpretations of tolkien are completely wrong, he made the films through a commercial perspective and did not focus on making a film of the world Tolkien created
I apologize for my ignorance... but what is the sequel to 'The Hobbit'? I thought the 'Lord of the Rings' was the follow-up? Surely, del Toro isn't re-doing 'Lotr'...
The sequel covers the 60 years or so between the events of the Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings e.g Aragorn's travels, Gandalf's search for the One Ring and so on.
Guillermo Del Toro creates a lot of good creature, you may say he's a vionary but something is lacking with him. hope he would do justice to the novel and the 1st Ring's movies but no doubt we would see a lot of interesting creatures in here
OMG! I had no idea LOTR won 17 oscars! they are the best! my favorite film of them all! I cannot wait for the hobbit. but when will we see it? first I heard it was going to be in 2009, than I heard something about 2010 and lately I was told that 2011 it's the corect year.
He will do an amazing job because if he could do something amazing with 80 millions in Hellboy .. imagine how incredible The Hobbit is gonna be .. Guillermo Rules
He's a good visionary type of guy, who better to do this movie? But he had better do it good, and I mean DAMN good to even associate with the LOTR movies.
Del Toro is KING. In saying that I wish he'd direct all if not every future Stephen King novel

Even though I'm not a huge del Toro fan, I think he will be perfect for the hobbit because of its unrealistic talking wolves, eagles, dragon etc. which one director could just settle for CGI beavers (Narnia), but Guillermo will definately bring the Hobbit characters to life.

Each fantasy/horror film should be directed by Guillermo Del Toro,every fantasy should be directed by P.J.,and every war/drama film by Steven Spielberg.
Three best directors ever.
I think The Hobbit 1 and 2 will be great,maybe even better that LOTR(if that is possible) because there are now both Guillermo and P.J. in crew.I can't wait to see it.

@trpamhrh3 don't ever compare peter jackson to Steven Spielberg. U shud also quit limiting the story telling ability of directors to genres. Steven Spielberg made many great movies not war related. But every movie Peter Jackson makes is a 3 hour pile of shit. Hey lets blow shit up and say fuck you to character development and writing. Top 3 worst is more like it

@bobjangle11 Stephen Spielberg is good, but not amazing. Jurassic Park is rather mediocre... The story is rather scetchy, and everything is unrealistic; because if it were real dinosours they ALL would have died.
You know nothing about Film or Filmschool. I have friends who went into film school, look up DoubleAAProductions if you want to see one. They will tell you that Peter Jackson is a great director as well. Go ahead, ask a REAL director who is good and who isn't, kid.

Whether PJ tried to improve it or not, he did rake in 3 billion dollars in revenue and 17 oscars, with praise from fans all over the world.
Guillermo Del Toro is going to make it his own vision, just like PJ did, and knowing Del Toro, he will make it an almost seamless and perfect transition to Lord of the Rings.
franklystrange 2 years ago
I'm sure the backers are delighted. In isolation ,the films are fine ,fantasy productions.Most LOTR (books) fans that I spoke to ,were relieved that he didn't "cock it up" too much,but mildy irritated by unnecessary changes- necessary ones we could handle!
adventussaxonum 2 years ago
Yeah, he did change a LOT, but i think a lot of it fit the movie. I read the LOTR series `before the movies, so I consider them two different ways of telling a story, but I can't decide which one I liked better.
I believe Del Toro will do the same, he'll make it his own vision, but it might be for the best, because it's his own way of telling the story.
franklystrange 2 years ago
I don't consider them "two different ways of telling a story." Jackson's work is a film adaptation of THE story(Tolkien's creativity and genius).Some changes could be justified on grounds of editing a book to fit 3 hours of film. However, that is harder to justify when large chunks of extra ,made up material , was added .(Aragorn-Arwen love interest was intrusive for the most part) and WTF were Elves doing at Helms Deep,yet no Eomer?
adventussaxonum 2 years ago
The Elves coming to help at Helms deep was a marvelous add in, in fact making helms deep a lot better than the book experience to me. When the elves came, the whole theatre (including me) broke out in applause.
Arwen and Aragorn were a necessary to add in from the appendices. It gave the film base and substance and the audience loved it, making Aragorn a memorable character.
I think Peter Jackson made exceptional adjustments, but I did miss Tom Bombadil =(.
franklystrange 2 years ago 3
When the elves arrived ,I thought "oh no!" The Rohirrim were short changed by the film version of The Two Towers. Theoden was made weak and dithering,leaning on Aragorn. The book relationship between Aragorn and Eomer was developed at Helm's Deep.(where was Eomer?)
Jackson seems to have an obsession with elves .
The book was not about Aragorn,it was about the little people -starts and finishes at Bag End!
Romantic stories are two a penny in Hollywood this was supposed to be heroic fantasy.
ektatherm 2 years ago
It was Romantic and Heroic. Where do you get off saying tat aragorr wasn't a hero. The movie, if well analyzed, is very epic in every way possible. Teodan was not made to look weak, look at him at the end of the battle, when he says "Ride out with me." and they slay all in their way. As for Eomer and Aragorn, not much of a loss. I'd rather see a love interest between him and Arwen than a closer relationship with him and Eomer. The Elves arriving didn't make it any less amazing of a story. at all

I'm not sure why some people think that its out of Del Toros style to do a Tolkein movie. Its not at all. Tolkein is much more like Guilmeros films than alot of other fantasy authors out there.
If Del Toro did an adaptation of The Wheel of Time, Eragon or The Shannra series then it would be out of his style. That stuff is more sterotypical fantasy.

You guys should remember (if you saw the Appendices on the Extended LOTR Cuts) that there were several other location directors on the set for the Lord of the Rings. In addition, the major look of things wasn't really decided by Peter Jackson, but was engineered by Alan Lee, John Howe, and the members of the design team. Peter Jackson is an incredible director, give him a little faith in his decision of Guillermo Del Toro.

Guillermo del Toro,
I've seen some your work. I've listened to some of your interviews. I'm thinking you might like some of my musical notions. So, when you get some time in your mornings, especially when your writing is bogged down, take a listen to some of my songs at YouTube - BertGriffin88.
BertGriffin88 2 years ago
I'm sorry guys but he's just not good enough to make The Hobbit. His work in Hellboy 2 was way to actiony and there was very little story plot, Pan's Labyrinth was way to fantasy like and had a very muggy feeling to it that will not work with The Hobbit. Peter Jackson is a phenomenal director probably one of a kind and I don't think this director will bring the realistic fantasy type that Peter brought. Also I don't think Peter will have enough power to change it to a mix of his and others.
Valdigard 2 years ago
I'd have to disagree with you. Del Toro thrives on creating supernatural worlds and believe that with the production of Jackson, they will create a world that is unbelievable. I'm just wondering how they are going to stretch this story into two movies since the book is fairly short.

Jackson isn't just gonna be an executive producer. He's also gonna be one of the writers along with Del Toro (and Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, same writers from LotR) and Weta will still be designing the weapons, costumes, effects, etc. Howard Shore will be back as the composer too.
So pretty much everyone from LotR will be back, so the "vibe" should not be that different. It will just have a different director.
Firecrawler09 2 years ago
I was a little worried at first. But since Peter Jackson is at least executive producer that means that it will have a lot more of that LOTR feel. I can imagine him givin' him tips on what all to keep his mind on in the Tolkein universe.

I really wouldn't like Del Toro to direct The Hobbit. Del Toro's movies have much gore, and one of the things I loved from Peter Jackson is that he didn't use gore in The Lord of the Rings. Do you fancy blood in The Hobbit, a tale written mainly for children??
Thulgon 2 years ago
Well, I think the 1977 movie was intended for children, and was sufficient for it's purpose. However, the youth of today's age *want* action films, and directors realize that's the only way to get sales. Now, I hope that heads won't roll and blood splatter the camera, by any means, but I think the Hobbit would be a better film if it had some action, rather than a cloud of dust sealing off battles from view. I personally agree with you that Jackson would be a better director, however.
fFelend 2 years ago
I'm totally for Del Toro. Why you ask me, I tell you, Del Toro's films aren't just about action and gore. Look at Pan's Labyrinth, a mystic and dark movie. Sure there is some blood, but that's only the backgroundstory (which actually resembles the actual mainline). However I absolutely adore his Costumes (Angel of Death, Childeater, Pan, etc.) This kind of costume would totally fit into the hobbit. And how would you do the final battle in the hobbits without gore. Oo
MrBl4ckY 2 years ago
If you're going to refer to Del Toro's previous films to assume what he's gonna do with "The Hobbit", you may want to ask yourself the same with Peter Jackson. Before PJ made the LotR films, he was infamous for making a lot of morbid, disgusting, and gory movies, too. Didn't stop him from making the masterpieces that are the LotR films now.
Really, give people more credit. These directors are working for passion. They have real talent, and they shouldn't be limited to their previous films.

El lenguaje literario y el cinematográfico son mundos completamente distintos y esto adquiere mucho más sentido al referirnos a las obras de Tolkien, que el mismo definió como antidramáticas. Considero a Del Toro un buen director, creo que la película/s distará mucho de defraudar a quien sepa apreciarla; claro, que siempre hay algún friki descerebrado y fanático que con su actitud y sus palabras lo único que consigue es desprestigiar la obra que tanto idolatra.
