There is a God…and his name is Guillermo Del Toro.  The stylish, uber-talented director of such acclaimed films as Blade 2, Hellboy, The Devil’s Backbone and Pan’s Labyrinth has recently been named as the perfect choice to direct The Lord of The Rings prequel adaptation The Hobbit.  Originally rumoured to be attached to Rings genius Peter Jackson, the choice now made seems even more suitable than that talented Kiwi.  I am well-pleased.  Further more, the adaptation is to be made into two films, with the second part detailing what happened between the adventures of Bilbo Baggins and the start of Fellowship Of The Ring – a controversial idea it may seem, but with Peter Jackson still attached as producer, and knowing Del Toro’s pedigree  – this can’t go wrong.  Fingers crossed.

Also in related news, Del Toro’s much anticipated Hell Boy 2: The Golden Army is looking amazing.  Check out the trailer…
