Tarantino. Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

He is one of my favorites, but no, I don't like him for this one.

I think Del Toro should come back, or Jackson.

Or Scorsese! We need more gangsters in Middle Earth.

 

[Tharwen]

I'd like to see what Tim Burton could do with Gollum, but beyond that, I don't think he'd make a very good film. I don't know enough about directors to make any other choice.

 

[brainamp]

Gore Verbinski for me

 

[Glademaster_v1legacy]

Anyone other than James Cameron.
He'd probably try and sneak an orc sex scene in there...and their hair will become reproductive organs.
*Shudder*

Oooh! Look at the pretty 3D grass!

Well this may not surprise you to know then but his characters in Alien and Predator movies are based of reproductive organs. Guess which is meant to which?

 

[MrPatience]

My vote's for J.J Abrams. All the way.

 

[TheGreenManalishi]

Tarantino. Search your feelings, you know it to be true.

He is one of my favorites, but no, I don't like him for this one.

I was joking, but after this post [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/jump/6.199051.6519500], it made me think an epic fantasy with QT behind it would be awesome.

 

[Shimoku]

Don't make a movie of it. So yes, no one. Some books are good as they are without throwing money at moving pictures.

 

[Dioxide20]

James Cameron, that would be intense.

If I remember correctly, Golem showed him that CGI had progressed far enough that he could do the work on Avatar. Hopefully he would remain faithful to the book.

 

[steve-I-am-me]

Stephen Chow!

 

[Hutchy_Bear]

Kevin Smith. I would love to see Jay and Silent Bob in the Shire.

 

[Dyp100]

Still Peter Jackson, he captured LotR's well, why not let him run around in the same universe?

 

[BehattedWanderer]

Del Toro/Jackson combo? Pan's Labyrinth meets LotR? One could only hope.

 

[quiet_samurai]

peter jackson? it only makes sense.

This, he started the damn thing so he might as well finish it.

 

[jdogtwodolla]

uwe boll would be the best directer evar! just kidding

 

[Reaper69lol]

Steven Spielberg is next on the list I would say, but really, Peter Jackson, no doubt.

 

[JaredXE]

Do NOT let Tim Burton anywhere near another person's body of work. Tim is only famous due to his orginal works, but almost every time he plays in another person's sandbox, he winds up pissing in it.

David Lynch........no. Just no. I would perfer NOT to have to be high in order to properly appreciate his version of the Hobbit.

Wes Anderson? Did you see the Royal Tenenbaums or his other dumb movies? Why is he in consideration?

Spielberg...eh. He could do it, but I just don't know.

And James Cameron.....same as Spielberg, he could do it, and do it well.


Wait, in fact Cameron has never had a bad movie. Like NEVER. Hell his first film, Pirahna 2 was better than the first Pirahna. Sure, let him do it.

 

[mexicola]

Steven Spielberg seems to know his work, I think he could pull it off nicely.

 

[MinstrelHam]

It has to be Peter Jackson. It would too much of a change from the LotR Trilogy if he didn't.

 

[Ewyx]

I'd love to see D. Lynch. Granted, the thought of it is a cinematic indulgence. But he did prove he can make simple non-brainfuck film, with "The Straight Story", and that's one of the most awesome films ever.

But if he'd make the hobbit completely fucked up and 'Lynchy', that would be something I'd go see.

 

[Odoylerules360]

I really like the idea of a Guy Ritchie Hobbit, but I know no-one else does
