for some reason I feel del Toro's immersion in fantasy (Pan's Labyritnth, Hell boy) would work, combined with his natural ebullience and childlike sense of wonder. To use wholly inaccurate words, i just feel he's a more "mature" fantasy director than Raimi would be, even though both are on the dark side. I've never seen any Potter film past the first one, but my other choice Cuaron got props for his work on the Potter film he did
-------------- Original message -------------- From: "Tracey de Morsella (formerly Tracey L. Minor)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> The think del Toro is dark on the order of Raimi and Burton, however, I won't argue against the idea that he has vision. Children of men is fantastic, but I can't see what about his work makes you think he would be good for the Hobbit. I've only seen one Harry Potter all the way through, but I would say the imagery could work. What do you think of that guy's storytelling?
