Hallows is scheduled for 2010 release. Since del Toro is in advanced negotiations to taken on major Tolkien-related projects, it would be impossible for him to take on the commitment. David Heyman has told Hollywood Reporter that del Toro is "too busy" and that's obviously an understatement.

Pan's Labyrinth was also nominated for Best Foreign Language Film at the Academy Awards in 2006 as well as winning for Best Cinematography, Makeup and Art Direction. I don't know how to add this to the article though...
