My thoughts exactly, although I can understand wanting to get a ruling on those accounting practices (evil bloody numbers..).
I wonder who they'll go for instead? We watched Return of the King again last night (something Rob avoids because it makes him homesick) and they did such a good job considering how in depth Tolkein was and how little time (comparatively) a filmaker has to get all that across. Would anyone else even bother to maintain continuity in terms of style, scripting etc?
As for more prequels *face!palm* some things are best left to the written word.
What I'd read earlier in the week was a bridge movie between the Hobbit and LOTR. Which would be kind of cool since it would be lots of Gandalf and Elves [g] I'm assuming it would be about the White Council, and realizing it was Sauron, etc. I'll take what I can get [g]
Thanks for posting this, Ith! *pensive* I'm not sure that I'll want to see this in the cinema if it's not directed by PJ. It will end up on tv eventually, anyhow.
