Geeks rejoice! "Pan's Labyrinth" helmer Guillermo del Toro is reportedly in talks to direct New Line and MGM's two-part adaptation of "The Hobbit."

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Del Toro and Jackson would oversee the writing of two scripts once the strike ends. The two-film package would be shot back-to-back starting in 2009, with the trade paper estimating a $150 budget for each projection. The first film would hit theaters in 2010, followed by a second in 2011.

$150.00 ???? These movies are gonna SUCK!
