Straight From Sundance: Guillermo Del Toro

We love cuddly, bearded and bear-like Mexican directors on Blogamole ...

So we were delighted to hear that MTV News caught up with the head honcho of hobbits last weekend at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.

Guillermo del Toro, the king of creepy (Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy II), is back with a new project.  In April 2008 del Toro signed on to direct the next Lord of the Rings installment: The Hobbit, a venture that prompted del Toro to move to New Zealand con su familia for four years.

Que más? Del Toro made a guest appearance at Sundance to support the premiere of Rudo Y Cursi (starring el guapísimo Gael Garcia Bernal).  MTV News' Rough Cut snagged a minute with the director to hear how he will prepare for hobbit world: [MTV News]
