Peter Jackson tells how much of Del Toro's vision is left in The Hobbit - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Hmm however the Law suit was a delaying factor and not one the studios would have contrived. But given how tight the belts were - so much so that even the Bond film was delayed they probably had a strong preference for old formulas.

Maybe too having decided not to direct originally in order to film "The Lovely Bones" which got at best fairly luke warm reviews, Jackson might have been keen to return to a successful for him formula too.
