I heard even HE was tired of the delays and didn't feel like committing the next 6 years of his life living and working in New Zealand.

 

[Silent December]

it's starting to look like this project will never get off the ground. Sucks to hear.

Dammit!

I like Del Toro but I think he's alittle over-rated. Will PJ take the chair back?

 

[Trustey]

What did he really ever do? I know that Pans Labyrinth movie, which was great but I dont think it's proof of him being able to deliver LOTR quality.

 

[Darth Waller]

Del Toro is a very creative director, but I think he's nuts for dropping out of this.

 

[The Craw]

just put Peter Jackson back in the director's chair where he belongs. nobody understands Tolkien's material like he does.

 

[EVILFACE]

Just call up Bret Ratner!

 

[JosephCPR]

I hope this brings back Jackson...never really cared about del Toro

 

[Silent December]

Just call up Bret Ratner!

or Stephen Sommers!

 

[The Craw]

or Michael Bay.

Bummer... I think Del Toro was a good choice. Can't really blame him.

And Trustey; he also did Hellboy 1 & 2, Devil's Backbone and Blade II.

And don't forget The Orphanage. Another solid GDT production.

 

[Master Wayne]

Good for him. His heart is elsewhere. Bring on Frankenstein!

 

[Wanderer]

Pans Labrynth was a visually stunning film. It pisses me off that all that visual and narrative flair he brings to the table will be lost now. I really couldn't care less about the film now.

Not LOTR quality, but He did Hellboy and one of the Blade movies!

Neill Blomkamp is tight with PJ, maybe they could turn directing reigns over to him.

 

[Shropt]

Game over man!! Game over!!

Seriously though, I forsee this film never coming out.

Worst case scenario we'll still always have this:
