Jackson will be doing "project management" which is really his forte. Del Toro is an actual artist who can generate such things as motivation, relationships and emotion in his actors.

There's always Heavenly Creatures. That one has all the above. Still not another movie like it.

And Brain dead is hilarious, wicked fun.

I think you're a bit hard on Jackson. He's is a real filmmaker, but he let his horror movie love get way out of hand in LOTR. It also suffered from originally being written as a twofer, expanded quicky into a threefer, and thenb being rewritten on the fly while shooting. That can work with a single movie, but got very unwieldy for a sinultaneously shot trilogy. And much of the problem with LOTR is derived from the source.

OTOH I coulda really done without Lurtz and "Sam, go home." ;-)

The guy has real cinemnatic chops (lots of FOTR was very fine, some of best genre filmmaking ever) but he's torn. Heavenly Creatures is his best to date, so we'll se what he makes of The Lovely Bones.

No question Del Toro is the real deal, as Devil's Backbone and Pan are wonderful.
