Jackson, Del Toro To Write 'The Hobbit'
Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008
Peter Jackson and Guillermo del Toro's search for writers for "The Hobbit" and its companion film has ended, with the filmmakers deciding that no one is better suited for the task than they are.
Del Toro, who is directing the movies, will team with the "Lord of the Rings" filmmaker and "Hobbit" executive producer Jackson to adapt the J.R.R. Tolkien book and write its follow-up. Also joining them in the writers room are Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, both of whom collaborated with Jackson on the "Rings" trilogy.

Superb, Guillermo will do a great job, just as long as Jackson doesn't add an extra hour of crying like he did in the Rings!
