Guillermo del Toro in ‘The Hobbit’?

November 11th, 2009

Should Guillermo del Toro act, or just stick to directing? 

Well, while on the set of The Hobbit, he is not only the director but he has also cast himself in the movie as well.  Granted, it is only as one of the many extras.  But honestly, why not?  His plan for now is to be covered in numerous amounts of make-up and whatever else it takes to become a “scary anonymous monster lurking in the background with other scary anonymous monsters,” this according to an interview on German TV.

For those of you who are the die-hard Lord of the Rings trilogy fans, don’t fear.  del Toro posted on http://www.theonering.net stating that Andy Serkis(Gollum), Hugo Weaving (Elrond) and Ian McKellen (Gandalf) will all be returning for The Hobbit , which is scheduled to be released, hopefully, in December of 2011.

Just don’t forget to look for del Toro in the background!
