Cinema Blend writes: "Many pairs of nerd pants were wet earlier this week when, despite upsetting news about Guillermo Del Toro's departure from the film, it was suggested that Peter Jackson would possibly direct The Hobbit if necessary to protect Warner Bros' investment. The news came in contrast to statements made earlier by Jackson's manager which said that Jackson's involvement in the film would always stop at the producing credit. The whole situation is confusing, to say the least, but now Jackson's people are back to clear things up. Unfortunately, it looks like nerd pants are going to stay dry this time."
