[Boromir88]

Personally I think it's just money-grubbing Hollywood trying to make as much money from the name of Tolkien and LOTR that can be made. I'm tired of all these crap sequels (or prequels) based on some pretty good movies to just make more money. There seems to be a huge increase in Hollywood these days...from the Butterfly Effect 2, Save the Last Dance 2, Behind Enemy Lines 2, Rocky X (or whatever number they're on)...etc

If a movie wants to be made on The Hobbit, go right ahead, as there's at least a good story and plot line to work off of and make a movie off of. But to me the people behind this idea of a 'prequel' to the events of LOTR, are no better than the horrendous David Day, who just makes up bilge, apply the name of Tolkien to it so he can rake in a profit.
