The Hobbit may be down a director amidst turmoil at MGM, but it keeps moving right along. (Psst, Lost fans: we hear that Widmore and Keamy both went in to read for roles this past week). Since Guillermo del Toro bolted from the production last week, he’s promised to deliver a second statement about just what went down, and that longer missive came late last night. His explanation? Yeah, it was basically that whole “I wanted my life back ever endless delays” thing.
