He has done wonderful work on Hellboy and Pan's Labyrinth. He certainly seems to have an eye for fantasy based movies. I heard on the podcast you mention Sam Raimi in connection with the film and I really hope that doesn't happen. I just don't seem his as a good match for the material at all. He should concentrate on repairing the damage done to the Spider-man franchise instead. If Peter Jackson isn’t going to direct the Hobbit then I think del Toro is the only person for the job.

I have a feeling they're going to tone a lot of his fantastical tendencies down a bit though - which is odd, since this is the prequel to the fantasy to rule all fantasies.

I did not like The Hobbit when I read it years ago, and I did not like the LOTR trilogy either. Unless they got M. Night Shyamalan or Sam Mendes to direct, I would not be excited about a project like this. He does do good monsters though. He may be able to pull off something interesting with the dragon. Or maybe he'll go back to the roots and have Gandalf puff out a vagina in smoke. I can’t really say I am excited.
