I would also like to say that after reading the following bits from the article that SaucepanMan linked to;<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Jackson wishes to use the hundreds of weapons, suits of armour and fantastic props left over from his epic cinematic endeavour as the foundation for a Lord Of The Rings museum in New Zealand. Both projects are now in severe doubt, however, following the refusal of Christopher, eldest of Tolkien’s four children and the author’s literary executor, to give the estate’s blessing.<P>He communicates with me now through his lawyer ... he will never speak to me again as long as he lives, he will never see my children and will never have anything to do with me<BR> <HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>I almost hope that he carries on refusing to let New Line and PJ do the Hobbit with the same care and attention they have lavished on the LOTR. <BR>Then the copyright can finally expire and Disney can do a version with songs and a lovely moral about beauty being within or similar. <P>Hmmm, I wonder which would serve his father’s legacy better?<P>Jesus, refusing to speak with your grandchildren because of something their father did. That is pretty damn low.
