There is a transcript of the online chat jackson and del toro had with fans, quite long but a good read.
I defiantly feel better about the film after reading that.
I am looking forward to the hobbit, although it is a long long way off yet.
Things seem to be going good and I think the film will do fine with del toro directing.

Well, at least this sheds a little light on the LOTR BR release...next year?!?!

RobbieM: Will Ian McKellen return as Gandalf?

Guillermo del Toro: Absolutely!!
Yes!

WETA Host: Will Gollum play a role in the second film? If not, any plans to find a different role for Andy Serkis? Because, and I think most will agree with me, everything is better with more Serkis.

Guillermo del Toro: Yes! As all of you know, Gollum has a rather fascinating arch to go through and his alliance to Shelob or his period of imprisonment in Thranduil's, etc but it is early still- so early in fact that to reveal more would tie our hands and be counterproductive.
Yes!

WETA Host: How will the new Gollum differ from the Gollum of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, if at all?

Guillermo del Toro: Once again, only in the passage of time (he's half a century "younger") but it will be Andy and the established design will be our Template
Yey!

Thanks so much for posting this!
