I have mixed feelings about this news. I love Del Toro and I have no doubt that he will nail these films, but I worry about his other projects and how this will effect them. I was also really hoping he would direct the final Harry Potter film, which I honestly think is more his style than The Hobbit.

I was rather excited about the Frankenstein and At The Mountains Of Madness projects.

If Peter Jackson isn't going to be able to do it, I guess Del Toro might be the next best thing.

I was looking forward to Del Toro directing Frankenstein, but I think this might be better.
