I'm glad that Peter Jackson is directing. I was bummed out when I heard Del Toro wasn't doing it back when he dropped out, 'cause if Jackson wasn't gonna do it (which he wasn't at that point) Del Toro seemed like the only other director out there who'd be able to do it.

But, now that Jackson's decided to do it anyway everything should be dandy. Yay!
- I must say, though, I'd still be interested in seeing Del Toro's version of the book. It'd also have been brilliant, no doubt.
