I'm really stoked to read finally that J.R.R. Tolkien's, The Hobbitt, is planned for a live action movie; and it's now official: Filmmaker, Guillermo del Toro is directing the movie and its sequel. (I understand the second movie will explore the 60-years span between the Hobbit time period to the beginning of The Lord of the Rings.) Of course, I'm already saving up my pennies for popcorn to go see Del Toro's Hellboy II, coming out this year July 11.
