This is great news. Del Toro also made a great movie called "The Devil's Backbone," kind of a ghost story set in an orphanage during the Spanish Civil War. As good as Pan's Labyrinth I think, though both are great movies. I think he's a better director than Peter Jackson actually; not only that but somebody who knows how to incorporate visual effects without letting them overpower the film. This news makes me very very very excited about the Hobbit movie.
