The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey

I loved Peter Jackson's LOTR trilogy, but I really wish they wouldn't have taken The Hobbit away from Del Toro. I would love to see what he would do with Middle Earth.

    From what I read on many websites it was said that he left because it was taking such a long time to get the film green lit and he was getting frustrated so he moved on to other projects where he could start work straight away and not have to wait for the guys in suits to give the thumbs up

    That's how I read it as well. But I thought (after the legal debacle) the issue with the film being greenlit had a lot to do with what I said. Marketablity sans-Jackson as director.
