Guillermo Del Toro was on Simon Mayo’s Radio 5 Live show today in the UK and told Simon he isn’t feeling any pressure working on The Hobbit movie.

The Director of The Hobbit also claimed that he’s not worried about having his Hobbit movies compared to the critical and commercial success reached by Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy.

He told Simon: “Frankly no. If I live the experience like that I would go insane. I don’t know if there’s a compartment in my brain that just doesn’t register those things. I feel an enormous responsibility but not to the results, either by Oscars or box office.”

He also went on to add: “I have an enormous responsibility to a book I adore and to a legacy of a world. Creatively I feel very responsible and very daunted, but honoured, doing this.”

He did admit that so far he was finding The Hobbit very demanding saying that he gets in The Hobbit office at 9am and rarely leaves before 9pm. He is currently dividing his time between working on the screenplay and designing the creatures of Middle Earth at the WETA studios.

I’ve been very impressed with GDT in all his interviews so far and his answers over the last 12 months or so have exorcised any lingering worries I had as to whether he was the man for The Hobbit.

I’m pretty sure Bilbo Baggins and Co. are in safe hands.
