Porque me encanta Guillermo del Toro...

For the non-Spanish speakers out there, "Why I love Guillermo del Toro..."

For those not in the know, Guillermo del Toro directed the special effects-laden Pan's Labyrinth. He also directed the upcoming Hellboy II (*points at self* BIG Hellboy fan here!) and he just got signed to direct...

DRUM ROLL PLEASE!

The two-film installment of The Hobbit, which is being exec produced by Peter Jackson!!!

I am so excited for him to direct -- he can tell fantastical stories with a visual beauty that harkens to the magical realism of Mexican/Latin literature. He is a true storyteller...And what better story to tell than the prequel to The Lord of the Rings trilogy?

The Hobbit? Really? Awesome!

That reminds me that I have to watch Hellboy I!

For reals, yo! They just announced the news today. I'm giddy...I lurved Pan's Labyrinth and am super duper excited for Hellboy II after seeing the trailer on Yahoo!

I just KNOW he's going to make the two Hobbit films epic, even if it will be awkward to split that story in half...

Isn't it? XD

del Toro is not the kind of guy to half-ass anything (especially special effects), so I'm really stoked he's going to be directing the first film. Watching Tolkien's world unfold via del Toro's vision is going to be nothing short of awesome, I'm sure!
