The Hollywood Reporter, um, reports that Guillermo Del Toro is in talks to direct the two Hobbit movies. I guess this is good, since he really is a legit artist and not a hack, though I’ve been mightily unimpressed with the two Del Toro movies I’ve seen (Hellboy and Pan’s Labyrinth, both overrated). Anyway, it’s interesting to once again see a horror-movie director tapped to do Tolkien. (Via AICN.)
