Tolkien&#8217;s &#8220;The Hobbit,&#8221; which is being co-financed by New Line and MGM. Del Toro&#8217;s name was on a short list of directors who could tackle the project, one of the most anticipated literary adaptations of the past decade.<\/em>&#8220;<\/p>\n<p> This should make a lot of Ringers happy, as Del Toro came in second place on our informal Director poll.
