If you didn't know already Peter Jackson probably won't be directing the upcoming Hobbit movie (sob), due to his legal battles with the movie company. The LotR movies were probably some of the best hobbit movies ever, and it's hard to imagine someone else directing them. But, if you could choose another director who would it be?
Steven Spielberg pitch: A young Bilbo Baggins leaves during war to save a young private Ryan while avoiding dinosaurs and giant rolling boulders, only to narrowly escape from the clutches of Captain Hook by flying away on a BMX bike during a very full moon.
Tim Burton pitch: Biblo dies, but lives in the afterlife with his enigmatic friend Beetlejuice. All is well until Commissioner Gordon calls him up to fight crime, the only problem is that it's hard for him to save people with the scissors on his hands. So, he gives up and starts a chocolate factory, where he can cut chocolate with ease.
Ron Howard pitch: Biblo falls in love with a beautiful mermaid while splashing around, but then things get interesting when he decides to fly to the moon on the ill-fated Apollo 13 mission. Of course, he makes it back only to realize that he's dirt poor and in deep depression, so he decides to take up boxing again for his mermaid family and half-mermaid kids. He wins, but Bilbo is better with his beautiful mind than his boxing prowess, and thus decides to go to Europe to help decipher ancient symbols and discovers the one ring of power. He's a little disheartened to find that the one ring doesn't really hold all the power, but the ring band. (That would've been good to know for the trilogy).
Martin Scorsese?
M. Night Shyamalan?
Sam Raimi?

Oliver Stone.
A gritty and emotional look at the lives of a group of dwarves on a familial quest of American as they patrol, fight and die in the wild of Middle Earth --as seen through the perspective of young hobbit Bilbo Baggins.
That's good. Duane wanted Martin Scorsese, so that he could learn what the f word would be in Elvish.

Serious, what an SOB. Just direct it you SOB.
If any one other than Jackson makes this movie, it won't be the same.
Jackson's possee, WETA digital, pretty much made the movie. Without Jackson, the Hobbit-like effects won't be the same.
In fact, I proclaim that any effects not made by Jackson for movies including Hobbits would be unacceptable. Jackson made the visuals for middle-Earth. Upon re-reading the books, I see his middle-Earth, because it was so visually catching.
What do you think about Alphonso Cuaron??? Could be an interesting feel...
