Del Toro Pulls out of The Hobbit

Guillermo del Toro, visionary director behind Pan's Labyrinth and the Hell Boy franchise, has pulled out of The Hobbit and its sequel. The decision apparently stems from MGM's inability to green light the starting of the films because of financial concerns, ironic since it would appear these films, basically sequels to the uber-successful Lord of the Rings trilogy were as sure a hit as you come by in Hollywod.
