It’s official - Guillermo del Toro has agreed to direct the two Hobbit films that the true Lord and Master of Fandom, Peter Jackson is producing. Nerds Worldwide rejoice.
Del Toro will be moving to New Zealand, spending about four years to make the two films back-to-back while utilizing the vast JackSon Empire (Wingnut and WETA Digital) to bring his vision of the Tolkien world to life.
“I am indeed blessed to become a part of the filmmaking community that Peter, Fran and their extraordinary team of collaborators have created in New Zealand,” del Toro said. “Contributing to the ‘Lord of the Rings’ legacy is an absolute dream come true.”
It is for us as well Guillermo. It is for us as well indeed.
