After a long struggle Guillermo Del Toro was hired
Since The Lord of the Rings trilogy was so popular, a film of The Hobbit was all but inevitable. The problem is that LOTR and Peter Jackson belong to New Line, and the Hobbit is owned by United Artists and Metro Goldwyn Mayer. An agreement was made, but conditioned on someone other than Jackson directing. It was decided that Guillermo Del Toro would make instant cash rain from the sky, as his films feature exquisite visual design.
No quarter from development troubles
When MGM became plagued with financial troubles, work on The Hobbit slowed. According to CNN, the film can be in two installments, and the first was originally going to be out in 2010, but now the releases are believed to be in 2012 and 2013. Del Toro confirmed that him leaving the project has every little thing to do with the financial difficulties of the studio, but he will remain in no matter what capacity he can, as so much pre-production has already been done. He moved to Wellington to work on the project.
