RUMOR: Neill Blomkamp Directing The Hobbit?


TheOneRing who is basically the best source for anything involving The Hobbit has heard from their sources/spies that Neill Blomkamp could be taking over for del Toro. If true this could be the saving grace for the films since Peter Jackson doesn't seem keen on directing them. Blomkamp is responsible for District 9 one of the greatest science fiction films of the last ten years which Jackson produced. The pair also worked together for the Halo movie before things fell apart. District 9 with it's modest budget ($30 million) ended up a massive box office success. Along with critical acclaim leading to it's four Oscar nominations including Best Picture.
