| There is indepth article on in today's WSJ. It focuses on Jackson and
the challenge of New Line Cinema getting the right to make the Hobbit
movie (which the article says cannot be made until 2005). Also of
interest in the article is that New Line Cinema wants to pursue some
kind of Tolkien sequel/prequel regardless if its the Hobbit or
not...interesting...

Please, don't.
There are still such things as "intellectual property rights".

I suspect that there are a lot of people, and likely a few members of the
Tolkien family, waiting for CJRT to start pushing up daises so they can get
their claws into Tolkien's work. I suspect that in 20 or 30 years we'll see
Lord of the Rings II - The Revenge of Saruman and a Walt Disney version of
Beren and Tinuviel where Huan does a song and dance number and is followed
around by a wise-cracking talking hedgehog.

Actually, the first one could be interesting if it was only an
audience-attracting title for the Scouring of the Shire...
And I'd really like to see the other one...

Well, we sure had to wait a long time for _Mulan_ and
_Heracl^H^H^Hcules_!

The very point of the Scouring is that it serves as an epilogue and something
of a conclusion where the characters' growth or diminishment is revealed
-- it can't work as a complete story on its own right.

I've actually written WSJ and asked permission to reprint it
digitally. I have the hardcopy version. Ask me any questions you like
about the article.
Good thing is, New Line wants to fight for Hobbit and so does Jackson.
Unsure how I feel about "new" stories as prequel/sequels.
Maybe they want to do a Simarillion movie....cant even imagine it. >> Stay informed about: Wall Street Journal article on the Hobbit movie |

I disagree. I believe it could have been turned into a movie with a little
creativity.
What I'd love to see is a movie about the building up to and conclusion of
The Last Alliance. That'd be awesome. The movie prologue may have given us
the ending, but it barely scratched the surface of the years and events
spanned. >> Stay informed about: Wall Street Journal article on the Hobbit movie |

My suggestion from a few years ago was that the best format for the
Silmarillion as a film would be something like Fantasia. >> Stay informed about: Wall Street Journal article on the Hobbit movie |
