Peter Jackson to direct the Hobbit?

Already credited as the producer, it seems Jackson could be willing to direct.

It's the news all fans of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, that he's in talks to direct the two planned Hobbit movies, following the departure of Guillermo del Toro.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Jackson is in negotiations with studio Warner Bros and its subsidiary New Line to fast-track the two movies into production. The aim is to bring them into cinemas in 2012 and 2013. He has not yet agreed to take the job, however.

Del Toro left the project last month after its predicted production period stretched from an initial three years to at least six, though he had a major part in penning the screenplay. Jackson had previously been listed as a producer.
