This would be great, but it would take at least a trilogy (and we would be whining again how this and that important thing was missing!).

And let's face it. This would be a movie-series for the hardcore fans, not to the wider public that wishes more of Harry Potter and Spider Man (with the doll-faced celebrity actors filling the main roles). To make such an investment as the LotR-trilogy, there should be the commercial assurance that it would sell more than enough. With this scheme there is none.

So if anyone makes it, it will be 1/100'th of a budget and so on... you know how that looks.
