Yesterday, we had a chance to visit with director Guillermo del Toro to talk about his latest film, "Hellboy II: The Golden Army," but we couldn't resist the opportunity to go digging for news on "The Hobbit" as well. So we put out the call to fans, asking them to submit their questions and we'd bring 'em along. And boy did they ever. Read Part I about what del Toro had to say regarding "The Hobbit."

But the biggest news? It came from a question I thought would be a joke.

"Who do I have to kill or sleep with to get a role as an extra?" user Mike Moore asked.

"Oh my god, well that's a good question only in that it's asked often," del Toro said, chuckling. "[But] I believe as the film comes to happen, in either of the two films, [fans] have a good chance of being there." Read more...

Recently, we solicited blog readers to submit their own questions for "Hobbit" helmer Guillermo del Toro, and dozens of you did. Well now we have the results of that conversation; the first part went up here -- wherein he discusses when we'll find out a title, which familiar faces may return and more -- and now we have the second part of our fruitful interview. Below, find out which dwarf is closest to his heart, where Ron Perlman could fit and other delightful tidbits. (And don't forget to check out more from our interview with Guillermo Del Toro here.)

Q: Can we expect that parallel events, such as the siege of Dol Guldur and the meeting of the White Council, events alluded to but not seen in "The Hobbit," will occur in your second film. In other words, is there anything you can definitively point to and say, "Yes, that is in my outline?" -- Gustavo Braga Read more...

Doug Jones wants you to know that he would play a hemorrhoid in a Guillermo del Toro film if asked, that he would follow the visionary "Hellboy" director anywhere he chooses to go. Doug Jones also wants you to know that he hopes that includes "The Hobbit," del Toro's next project. Most of all, though, Doug Jones wants you to know that he isn't officially cast in that movie, that there's nothing on paper, that anything and everything could change, and that to state or otherwise imply otherwise would be premature at best and plain wrong at worst.

And we wouldn't dare go against any of these desires. Except, well, there's one tiny thing more Doug Jones also wants you to know:

"There's been lots of speculation. I wouldn't want to ruin anything. Guillermo creates things with me in mind and he's got a better image of what I can do than I do," the man otherwise known as the Silver Surfer and Abe Sapien told MTV News, a wicked and knowing smile across his face. "However, there might be an elf king, father of Legolas kind of character that I would love." Read more...
