I'd be ok with Del Toro. He has a great sense of imagery. I'm just concerned that his vision for Middle-earth won't match up to that in the other movies. He generally seems to like things dark. Dunno if that would be true if he were adapting someone else's work, though. Either way, I think he's the best choice we've heard since it became clear this would be happening with PJ as producer (I still kind of want PJ to direct, for unity of vision purposes, but I may be in the minority as far as that's concerned, and it's not going to happen anyway so that's a moot point).
I'd love to see Howard Shore come back. His music is gorgeous and it really captured Middle-earth for me. Even before seeing FOTR, I had the soundtrack and was marveling at how everything sounded so right.
