Peter Jackson Will Direct The Hobbit...If He Has to!

Cool DEL TORO for DR STRANGE!!!

Everybody wins! : P

HA HA HA! @sirprize

yea screw this movie. its getting no where and wasting both of these two directors time. let them do something else, del toro for Hellboy 3. sweeeeeeeet ;)

Well to be honest Jackson was my 2nd choice in the first place. Del Toro 3rd. I've got my hopes set on Michael Bay fitting this into his schedule. If there's anything Tolkien's work needs, it's hot chicks in crop tops, fast cars and explosions till your eyes bleed. I'm thinking a Baggins Punisher cross over here.

Dazmatron, are you kidding? Michael Bay is probably the worst director if you are trying to make a decent film and not want to just blow stuff up. He has become the cliche of hack directors.

wait till I get to NZ, just keep delaying till I get there!

OH SNAP!!!! LOL

RyGuy88, you need to calm down duder, Bay isn't a hack director. As a matter of fact, The Island is one of the best movies I have ever seen. Directed by Bay. Then you say King Kong sucks. Man, you need to get some new taste. Yeah, it wasn't like the greatest movie alive, but it was still a good movie. I call it Jurassic Park remake as a joke, but anyway, your opinion seems wobbily. Saying he sucks (Bay) is like saying you like penis in your mouth. It's not true. (Hopefully, for your sake lol).

Uwe Boll, now that's a hack director. That MAKES SENSE. I don't even have to get into detail everyone just knows lol.

Nah Vital, Bay sucks. If The Island truly is one of the best films you have ever seen I suggest that you watch more movies! But I do agree that King Kong was very enjoyable for the most part.

Shaman I don't doubt his passion for the stories/films, only for the work in general. If he has a boat load of shit to do and only takes on The Hobbit as a last resort to bail out the studio if another director can't be found, he may simply be burned out.

Shaman: I'm with you on Jackson's King Kong. The movie was waaaaaay too long, and took forever to get to the island. That was my main fault with the film. In fairness, the battle with Kong and the T-Rexes was pretty cool. The dinosaurs on the island had me thinking "this is what we SHOULD have seen in Jurassic Park".

As for Jackson doing the Hobbit, maybe the guy is just burned out from doing three of these movies at once, and doesn't relish the idea of doing another two of them at once. That, plus he's apparently set to do two of these Tintin movies (I'm not familiar with this character, but he does sound like he could be interesting, depending on the story). If Jackson does wind up stepping in and directing one or two Hobbit movies, I'm confident he'll do a good job. We shall see.

comicb00kguy: this is Tin Tin:





Shaman: Tin Tin has a lot of appeal in Europe i think. a while back, one of the original Prints of only 2 pages were sold for thousands of dollars.. maybe it will be aimed at a younger audience.

Ryguy: by the way, the other one, "From my heaven" or something, about the girl that was killed and then is wandering in paradise, is ABSOLUTE BORING STUFF..man i couldn´t believe i actually watched it trhough!..

The thing I liked about the idea of Del Toro directing The Hobbit was that he was confident enough to provide his own take to the franchise. We were going to see a fresh new vision of Middle Earth. He gave us important clues as to what he was aiming, like the time he said that his Wargs were not going to look like hyenas, but like wolves, the way they should have always look, or the time he mention that he wanted Smaug to be the ultimate dragon, and that his references were Vermithrax and Milificent the dragon from the Sleeping Beuty.

Del Toro knows how to create fantastic characters, take a look at El Laberinto del Fauno or Hellboy and Hellboy II. His creatures look extraordinary because, among other reasons, he is more incline to use prosthetics and make up than CGI, which gives his movies a different feel. (By the way he does use CGI, he just doesn’t abuse it).

On the Other hand, Peter Jackson was great on the first Trilogy, but The Hobbit is a different animal, it’s not a war epic, it’s more like a fable. It’s true it ends with a big battle, but the other ¾ of the book are a lot more naïve and intimate, following the misadventures of Bilbo, talking animals and a big bad dragon.

It’s a shame Del Toro step out of the project, he was de right man to do it.

Sir-Jed- I'm in Quebec and Tin Tin is HUGE here too. But i still can't see why. My girlfriend loved the shit out of it and couldn't explain to me why she did. It's just something really really bad that everybody loves LOL. To each's own but i have yet to hear why it's so appealing to everybody. If only there was some type of character development throughout the multiple volumes but it's all the same shit. An event happens, and quite naturally the 'rash young man, his smart dog and ol' surly sailor buddy find themselves or better yet throw themselves smack dab right in the middle of it. The two twin twits of detectives try to solve the case but separately from the ambitious trio. The cooky scientist is there to help out the trio but never amounts to anything. Everytime the trio gets into trouble, they find a piece of the puzzle that ultimately solves the case at the end and the twit detectives get the credit for doing nothing but being stupid. It's the same ol' tired shtick every single time. It quite simply sucks ass. There is nothing that could be brought to this franchise to make it even slightly interesting. It's a lost cause to me. But those are my tastes for ya! ;)

here:

watch what happens, they wont even make this movie. actually they should wait till thor is done and get kenneth branagh

Shaman and others: thanks for a bit more background and perspective on what this whole Tin Tin thing is. The studio must be high on it to greenlight two movies before the first one is even shot.

SirJedi: Is that supposed to be one Tin Tin strip or just a sample of what it looks like? I hope it's the latter, because there is almost no connection between any of the panels!

I'd rather see Jackson do the Hobbit, personally. While the LOTR movies certainly have their faults, Jackson certainly captured the look and feel of Middle Earth. The movies were probably as close to the books as we had any hope of ever seeing. I would think that Jackson could be trusted to bring the Hobbit to life, though it doesn't need two films to tell its story!

I really like your post. Always been very informational. I hope you’ll keep up the good work and maintain the standard. Best of luck.
