Now that’s he’s officially not doing The Hobbit, Guillermo del Toro is focusing on his other project, the inSANE video game trilogy developed in partnership with THQ. It’s not going to be released until 2013 which gives them plenty of time to perfect the game, on which del Toro will serve as external creative director. There will [...]
We may not like him when he’s angry, but with Guillermo del Toro and Battlestar Galactica producer David Eick now announced as the people bringing Marvel’s Incredible Hulk to ABC, it’s a fair chance that we’ll like him no matter what mood he’s in.

Expect plenty of announcements to roll out during Comic-Con over the next four days, at least surrounding the biggest and most popular franchises.
