Deadline reports the obvious best choice to take over directing duties of The Hobbit from Guillermo del Toro who recently had to leave the production. That person is Peter Jackson who c0-wrote the film's screenplay and has just as much time invested in the project as del Toro. They say that both studios involved (MGM and Warner Bros.) are trying to convince the Kiwi director to finish the Tolkien epic he started with the Lord of The Rings trilogy. Jackson said he would be willing to direct the films himself if they were unable to find a suitable replacement. It's doubtful they've found anyone capable of delivering the quality of Jackson's work. There is also the issue of working and living in New Zealand for two years which would suit Peter just fine. The only problem would be his commitments to the Tintin sequel.
*Who could possibly direct The Hobbit other than Peter Jackson?
