UPDATE: These rumors about “The Hobbit,” contradicted a lot of what Peter Jackson has said on the record often and in front of lots of cameras and reporters. We believe what PJ said rather than what somebody is claiming came from a “reliable source.” We also want to remind readers that Market Saw has reported some “facts” before which turned out to be incorrect. Check out this 2007 report which claimed that he knew Jackson would definitely be directing “The Hobbit,” in 3D not long before it was announced that he wasn’t. Many media members, including our own staffers, heard Jackson only weeks ago say there were no plans to do “The Hobbit,” in 3D and there absolutely no plans beyond the currently planned two films. Things can change but in this case, we doubt it very much. Further our own inside source, and somebody who really knows how the films will be shot (who isn’t Peter Jackson) wasn’t aware of an 3D plans.

Ringer spy Michelf has sent us the link of Guillermo del Toro chatting with Charlie Rose. The interview features a great but short collection of clips and then the two jump into the rich soil of GDT’s imagination. Rose is his usual warm self and the director of the two “The Hobbit” movies is passionate about monsters, movies, writing, life and the horror of banal reality and tabloid existence. GDT talks about science fiction and fantasy and drops such gems as, “I am not a hardware guy. I am a biologically perverse guy. I am into squishy things.” Click 
Vampires are all the rage today on television and especially in book stores. Handsome, romantic vampires in particular are red hot. Those with a crush on runway model versions of the undead with benevolent intentions will be completely crushed by the Guillermo del Toro’s “The Strain” co-written with Chuck Hogan. In this world, Edward Cullen wouldn’t stand a chance.
