Guillermo del Toro has signed on to direct The Hobbit. The story will be separated into two films, and both are executive produced by Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson. With amazing fantasies such as Pan's Labyrinth and Hellboy under his belt, del Toro seems well-suited to adapt the LOTR prequel, but I'll have to rinse the taste of vomit out of my mouth if Bilbo Baggins performs pro wrestling manuevers a la Blade 2. Wow, that movie was terrible. --Oscar Pascual
