Peter Jackson wants Neill Blomkamp to take over the directing duties on The Hobbit: Part 1 and The Hobbit: Part 2 says TheOneRing
Since Guillermo del Toro's exit, various names have been mentioned (like shiver!! Brett Ratner) as candidates with Jackson himself indicating that if no-one else can be secured, he would take on the job.
His choice of Blomkamp though isn't a major surprise, the pair worked closely together on "District 9" that Blomkamp directed and Jackson produced.
The hiring would mean Jackson would likely have more creative control than if a more seasones director stepped in
"District 9" demonstrated the new filmmaker's strong talent and skill working within a budget. and given the money woes of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios that's a good thing
