The Hobbit Director Ditches Films


Peter Jackson and co are having some problems in getting "The Hobbit" onto the big screen as a two-part film, and now a further dilemma has arisen: Guillemero De Toro, director of the three "Lord of the Rings" films, has announced his departure from the series as director. This doesn't, however, mean that De Toro will be permanently off the production team for "The Hobbit", quite the opposite: De Toro has revealed he will continue to write the motion picture in collaboration with Peter Jackson, adapting Tolkien's prequel into two 3-hour long flicks. The big question now is just who will take over as director on "The Hobbit", and what changes will this mean for "The Lord of the Rings" film franchise. We'll find out soon, along with the director for the 2012 "Mass Effect" movie!
