Hope it doesn't suck.

I like this idea a lot.

Nah. Ron should be the guy who turns into the bear. He's perfect for the role.

Beorn iirc, and yeah, Ron Perlman playing him would rock.

I love it.

So why is everyone so excited to have Guillermo del Toro directing? Was everyone really impressed with mimic or something?

Pan's Labyrinth.

Pan, Hellboy and Devil's Backbone. He's a good director.

But when the fuck is his At The Mountains of Madness movie coming? I've been waiting for that forever.

Last I heard, Mountains was next on his plate after Hellboy 2. He's been wanting to make it for a long time - kinda like Jackson and King Kong.

Few people thought Jackson, the director of Dead Alive and Bad Taste, had any business directing a three-part, multimillion-dollar fantasy epic. And look how well that turned out.

Why not give Del Toro a shot?
