Quote:

“In light of ongoing delays in the setting of a start date for filming “The Hobbit,” I am faced with the hardest decision of my life”, says Guillermo. “After nearly two years of living, breathing and designing a world as rich as Tolkien’s Middle Earth, I must, with great regret, take leave from helming these wonderful pictures.

NOOOOOOOO! That's terrible news!

My nominee as new director is Werner Herzog.If only Klaus Kinski were alive, he could be Bilbo.

If Herzog directed it, it would end with the dwarves throwing Bilbo Baggins over a cliff and then starving to death on the way home.
