The Hobbit in Limbo: No Mo Del Toro

Damn!

Director quits 'Hobbit' film over production delay (AP) - Yahoo! Movies

MGM woes -- maybe James Cameron will fly in and save the day!

I read this over on AVClub and it sucks. I was really looking forward to his vision of Middle Earth. Any other ideas for good directors on this project? I'm coming up blank at the moment.

 

[Relique du Madde]

Damn.

 

[Mark]

Maybe they will tap Neill Blomkamp and bring him along.

Could you please edit the thread title? It makes it sound like Del Toro passed away.

 

[Darth Shoju]

Ugh, that sucks. There are other talented directors out there though.

Plus, perhaps this means del Toro will get to make his Mountains of Madness movie.

 

[Remus Lupin]

I'm a sad panda.

Considering the problems they are having getting it out, I'd be surprised if any director jumps in before the issues are worked out.

Here's hoping Uwe Boll didn't pay his phone bill, cable bill, or ISP bill and is currently rediscovering himself in a Tibetan Monastery.
