I also thought M&C and particularly Gallipoli were great movies, but I'm not sure he could do fantasy - he does political/historical films mostly, it seems. However this down to earth tone may actually suit TH better - the story itself is not particularly magical. And he's certainly better than Raimi. All the same, I still want Peter Jackson back...
