Yeah, I think he's like Peter Jackson in that he's had a lifelong love affair with fantasy and scifi. he really lives in that other world. And his movies have proved that he can do the FX, action, fantasy, humour, and dramatic angles equally well. Again, like Jackson. And the *look* of his films makes me think he'd be a worthy successor to the imagery Jackson and WETA have done with LOTR.
