James Cameron bad Del Toro droppe "Hobbitten"

Fra den ene instruktør til den anden.

Guillermo Del Toro (Hellboy) droppede desværre at instruere "Hobbitten" efter at have brugt en masse tid på pre-production af projektet, hvorefter Peter Jackson trådte til.

Nu fortæller James Cameron, at han i lang tid sagde til Del Toro, at han burde droppe "Hobbitten" til fordel for sine egne projekter.

"I was telling him for a long time to get out of that thing because there is only room for one captain on the ship. Instinctively I knew that Peter was going to take over and do the movie. Guillermo, to his credit, didn't listen to me and wanted to continue and had some great designs - and I have seen all the designs. Of course he would have done a spectacular job, but don't we want to see Peter do it? He should do it and Guillermo should do his thing. That's what I told both of them - you should just stay in your corners."

I samme interview kunne Cameron tilføje, at "The Hurt Locker" ville have været meget bedre i 3D. Ironisk nok, da filmen, der er instrueret af Camerons ekskone, vandt en Oscar for bedste film ved netop at slå Cameron og hans 3D-flagskib "Avatar".
