We love cuddly, bearded and bear-like Mexican directors on Blogamole ...
So we were delighted to hear that MTV News caught up with the head honcho of hobbits last weekend at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah.
Guillermo del Toro, the king of creepy (Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy II), is back with a new project. In April 2008 del Toro signed on to direct the next Lord of the Rings installment: The Hobbit, a venture that prompted del Toro to move to New Zealand con su familia for four years.
Que más? Del Toro made a guest appearance at Sundance to support the premiere of Rudo Y Cursi (starring el guapísimo Gael Garcia Bernal). MTV News' Rough Cut snagged a minute with the director to hear how he will prepare for hobbit world: [MTV News]

Academy Award nominated director Guillermo Del Toro has made a name for himself in Hollywood by helping us rekindle our imagination. Sure, movies like Pan's Labyrinth and Hellboy might have creeped us out, but they helped us resurrect our childhood love of fantasy. This summer the Mexican native is back after a long awaited eight year break to bring us Hellboy II: The Golden Army. The movie. which chronicles the demon's teenage years, debuted at number one in theaters and pulled in a cool $35.9 million.
MTV News caught up with Del Toro to talk about the next phase of Hellboy, Barry Manilow, and when it's okay to sleep around. Take a look at all the wise advice we got from the Hobbit master himself:
Side note: How much does Del Toro look like Michael Moore?
