Hi all,
Here is an excellent article concerning GDT and his life, and a brief section on some of his Hobbit ideas that I don't think will make it to the screen. Enjoy!

Del Toro is brilliant in his own way, but I agree that his artistic tendencies are probably a little dark and abstract for the Hobbit.

Wow...
That is rather disturbing. I'm glad he's off the project.
