James Cameron is many things — director, writer, technological trailblazer, Oscar-winner, King of the World — but did you know he was also a talent consultant? Apparently! Cameron found time in his very busy schedule to offer Guillermo del Toro a bit of advice on directing The Hobbit : Don’t do it.

These days, it seems like everyone wants to direct The Hobbit except for Peter Jackson. After Guillermo del Toro left the project, it appeared that Jackson would be a natural fit to take the reins back to his Lord of the Rings franchise, but his reported reluctance has opened the door for unlikely contenders like David Dobkin ( Wedding Crashers ) and Brett Ratner ( X-Men: The Last Stand ). We’re on to this game that the suits from MGM and WB seem to be playing: flirt with completely inappropriate directors who aren’t right for the franchise in the hopes that they’ll bait Jackson into directing the film himself! Here are five more candidates for the job who ought to be leaked to the press immediately:

When Guillermo del Toro left The Hobbit , Hollywood wondered if there was any director who could step in and guide such a massive, effects-laden series while remaining in the stylistic shadow of the auteurs who’d come before. Duh, of course: David Yates, who fulfilled that exact function on the last few installments of the Harry Potter series! Slashfilm notes that his involvement with The Hobbit is just a rumor, but that sound you hear is eight thousand bloggers slapping themselves on the forehead, wondering how they didn’t think of this first.

Guillermo del Toro has been attached to direct The Hobbit for two years, and he’s even been quietly auditioning actors for it over the last month (including one recent alum of Movieline’s Verge feature — guess who!), but it’s been impossible for him to proceed as planned with the Lord of the Rings prequel without a firm greenlight from the in-turmoil, unsold MGM. Therefore, he announced today, he’s leaving the project.
