Hooray for Variety E-mail Alerts! This news story just floated into my inbox. Guillermo del Toro has officially signed on to direct The Hobbit and its mysterious sequel. He’s moving to New Zealand for the next four years to give us the next (er, first?) chapter in the Middle Earth saga. The second Hobbit movie apparently deals with the 60-year period between The Hobbit and Fellowship of the Ring. Does anyone else think Peter Jackson’s diarrhea of the running time will turn the sequel into a 60 hour movie?
