Peter Jackson and Guillermo del Toro, who will respectively executive-produce and direct two upcoming films based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s novel The Hobbit, interacted with each other and fans during an international Internet chat dubbed “An Unexpected Party,” answering dozens of the 6,000-plus questions sent in and offering tidbits about things to come.

This is a great interview, and it makes me even more confident that Del Toro will do a great job with the movies… especially since PJ is still writing and producing. The only problem??? We have to wait until 2011 to see the first one! ARGH!
