Will Guillermo Del Toro Direct THE HOBBIT?


It is looking more and more like director Guillermo Del Toro (Blade 2, Hellboy, Hellboy 2, Pan's Labyrinth) will take on THE HOBBIT for Newline Cinema under the direct supervision of none other than Peter Jackson (LORD OF THE RINGS), who will act as the Executive Producer. The studio has not published any "official" word as of yet, but things are pretty much set.

THE HOBBIT tells the story of Bilbo Bagggins, and his adventures with Gandalf the Grey. Biblo is the Hobbit that finds the One Ring in Gollum's cave on his trek with the dwarfs to face the villainous dragon Smogg, before it makes its way into the hands of Frodo Baggins, Bilbo's nephew, in the LORD OF THE RINGS.
