Com'on all the big money is with the geeks, and they are more likely to spend on things like collectibles that have a special meaning to them.

oh crap, I thought it was a real hobbit. I wanted it for my BFF.

>> "A big screen adaptation of The Hobbit is due in 2010, with Pan's Labyrinth director Guillermo del Toro at the helm."
I thought it was going to be headed by Peter Jackson. Well that changes my enthusiasm for it. sheeesh.

Racist.
(Jackson is producing, I understand.)

Seriously, there's a man knows how to put together a good film. But he also did Blade II. Is it too late to ask him to film the Hobbit in Spanish...?

I agree with DZ - It's more a case of Jackson doing such a fine job with the LoTR films that the same (if not better) will be expected of the Hobbit. Although I must admit that I've not yet seen any of del Toro's films - he may be good enough for this particular project....

Hellboy might be a good start, if only because its a Hollywood flick, which would kind of be on par with this one.
Hm... and maybe you'll see him as "El Padre" in the upcoming MACHETE film. Now that's one movie I'm actually expecting to watch!

Better to watch Pans Labyrinth as its a fabulously non-hollywood movie in the fantasy genre.

Watch The Orphanage also. GdT produced, out this weekend. Think I enjoyed it even more than Pan's, in fact.
