Better be replaced by someone good... Peter Jackson maybe? :)

That is a shame. I am sure the movie will be awesome anyway.

thank god, Petey Jackson step up son

Who knows, the fans will be lucky if the film ever gets made, at this point. With MGM in dire financial straights, its future might be in question.

I'm hoping its because del Toro is moving ahead with his long-discussed adaptation of At the Mountains of Madnessxaos

While that does suck since I like Guillermo Del toro a lot I hope they hire a good director to replace it. They should get Terry Gilliam or Jean Pierre Jeunet. That would be awesome:D

Shame. I was hoping to see his style mixed into the Hobbit.

This statement might make some people uneasy. If Jackson returns, great. But if not, are they gonna find a director who has a passion for the project, or someone that's just going to go through the motions for the sake of just getting the movie made...and possibly make a mediocre movie as a result?

Neill Blomkamp would be my choice under Peter Jackson as producer..District 9 being his first film he directed and wrote was amazing movie, extremely low budget..

It doesn't matter who they replace him with, because this movie is NEVER getting made.

Yeah I can see this project being delayed for years. I thought they have been trying to make this since the 90's at least. Maybe we are better off with the 70's version.

With all the fall backs already this might takes years for it to be made, I was interested on what Del Toro was going to do with it, but it's more than unlikely that Peter Jackson will direct it, if it even gets made...Jazz_Fan

Well i just hope it turns out amazing...:P :|

Ah man that is a bummer. I am a huge GDT fan. Best of luck to him on his other projects.

Micheal Bay anyone?

OH GAWS THE HORROR

Dear MGM,

Please sell the rights of LOTR and Bond to a studio that knows what it's doing, then finally roll over and die. Nobody wants you around, and you're killing beloved franchises by clinging on.

Sincerely,

Everyone.

Seriosuly, New Line were the reason Jackson himself wasn't directing, they keeled over, now MGM have forced del Toro away with their delays, why can they not just make this movie?

Micheal Bay anyone?
