Jackson to direct Hobbits after all

Normally, this wouldn’t make it to this blog (since it ain’t a news source, after all), but since I already posted about Del Toro pulling out of directing the two-part Hobbit movie, it’s only fair that I close the loop and share this. Looks like Peter Jackson is going to direct the Hobbit films after all. It’s not a done deal, but things are heading in that direction.
I’m kind of stoked about this one. I think this is the best of all possible worlds: Del Toro came in and pushed Jackson creatively, did his creature-making magic, and now the man who actually gets Middle Earth is coming back for round two. Thumbs up.
