'The Hobbit' takes on new direction


Guillermo Del Toro has decided to drop out of directing "The Hobbit" due to other long term project commitments. He was only supposed to be in New Zealand for 3 years, but it looks like it'll become 6 years.

The good news is he's spent most of his time setting up the whole essence of Middle Earth so the next director won't have to do too much envisioning.

I would like to make the argument that 6 years in New Zealand doesn't sound like a waste of time. But then again, I'm not a big time movie director either. If you were stuck somewhere for 6 years to direct a couple movies, where would you want to be?
