Seventh Doctor Sylvester McCoy set to play a wizard in 'The Hobbit'!

First off – fear not! Ian McKellen is still Gandalf, but Sylvester McCoy (who was the seventh Doctor on Doctor Who) is in contention to play a huge role in The Hobbit, and the role McCoy is set to play is that of another important wizard in the Lord of the Rings lore.

And the New Director of The Hobbit Will Be . . .

Well, according to Heat Vision Blog, the new director for the two The Hobbit movies will be none other than Peter Jackson himself!!!

After Guillermo Del Toro had to step down from directing the movies due to MGM woes and delays, speculations were running wild as to who would direct the prequel to The Lord of the Rings Trilogy.

Seems the right man for the job may be back at the helm, as Jackson has now entered negotiations to direct the two movies.

Do you think that Peter Jackson is still the right man to direct The Hobbit or would you rather have a new director at the helm?
