Del Torro says if he were to get to be the director of The Hobbit movies he would welcome back members of the original cast from The Lord Of The Rings movies.

When asked by Empire magazine he said:

Yeah, absolutely. I’ve been pretty much incredibly open about the things that I love and don’t love in the past. I’ve turned down huge franchises in the past because there are parts of that world I don’t gel with. The reason I took Blade 2 is because I love the characters that Stephen Norrington created and the actors he used. That times ten is the reason why I’m interested in The Hobbit.

On the progress of him actually getting the job he told the magazine:

I wish it was definite, but it isn’t. It is still in talks, there are still a lot of ‘T’s to cross and ‘I’s to dot. It’s certainly not certain yet But, as far as I am concerned, [if it was definite] I would be packed in ten seconds.

On the recent news that New Line were (yet again) being sued and that the plug could well be pulled on the whole deal if the Tolkien Charity Trust get their way he said that until he is officially on board, he isn’t worrying about it.

“Until I’m on board I should not worry about it. I read about it, but there is nothing I can do about it.”
