How important is it for The Hobbit to have a director? Apparently, not very! Despite the fact that Guillermo del Toro fled the director's chair and Peter Jackson doesn't want the gig, the film has still been auditioning actors in Los Angeles like nothing's the matter. Now, new pictures have leaked of The Hobbit's sets, which have already been built in New Zealand.
The photos come courtesy of the German fansite Herr-der-Ringe-Film.de (which I believe translates into "Hitler's Ring Film") and they seem to be missing a little something, don't they? Can someone Photoshop in Brett Ratner and a bullhorn? Thanks, that's much better.
