Still no director for "The Hobbit"

District 9 director, Neill Blomkamp was rumored to be the next director for "The Hobbit", after Guillermo del Toro's departure from the project 3 weeks ago.  David Yates, who directed Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire was also rumored to be the next director for the films......to no avail.  Despite Sir Ian McKellen's assurance, that the fill we be on schedule to fans.....I doubt this project will see light of day, since MGM Studios is also in a financial mudhole as we speak
So what's next?  Hopefully Peter Jackson himself, will take over full directorial responsibilities as it should, since his Lord of the Rings trilogy, are among the most successful movies in history.  Perhaps, it's time for PJ, to step up to the plate, and take a trip back to Middle Earth, the Jackson way.
