Director Guillermo del Toro told fans that there has been "a lot of movement" in talks to bring him on board to direct the Peter Jackson-produced two-part The Hobbit movie, but that nothing is firm yet.

Writing on the official bulleting board for del Toro's upcoming sequel film Hellboy II: The Golden Army, del Toro said: "Whew. Not yet. But there has been a lot of movement. And for the last few weeks there has been a lot of creative/cast/crew/visual talks and agreements, and we have witnessed great progress in areas that I cannot disclose or that have already leaked from other sources."

Del Toro added: "I am dying to share news, but I have to be patient and wait until the papers are done and my attachment is real. Nevertheless, a lot of progress in defining the films, their cast and crew. And, may I add, we are all happily in synch about all creative aspects so far and all willing and eager to move forth."
