Will The Hobbit Films EVER make it to the big screen?

The powers that be have been talking about releasing J.R.R Tolkien's The Hobbit ever since the LOTR trilogy was released. What seems to be hindering this film (which is slated to be split into two films and released in 2012 and 2013) is the lack of direction, literally.

Newest developments see Peter Jackson taking the helm of this project after director Guillermo del Toro dropped out.

Jackson, already a produce on the films, is hesitant to direct the films and having to devote another significant chunk of his life to Tolkien's work.

I, personally, would have loved to see del Toro's take on this classic story, which has already become a classic film because of the previous installments in the LOTR trilogy. However, I would not be disappointed if Jackson did resume a position directing Tolkien's story.

Who do you think should direct The Hobbit films?
