Sauron the White has just left Hobbiton.
Thank you William for those answers. Interesting to see that it was you in another form who posted that other information. Small world.

So now what happens? Is there anything that prevents NL from going ahead on this film right now while the legal dispute plods on for months or even years? Would the Estate have to ask for an injunction to stop the films from being produced.... or once done, distributed to theaters?

One of the things that I was looking forward to in the Jackson suit was a final resolution to this and a end to Hollywood accounting methods. I wanted to see all the dirty laundry aired in public, all the in-house merchandising deals revealed, and all the accounting gimmicks exposed. It seemed that Jackson and his legal team wanted that also. In the end they settled for the same thing that everyone else settles for - money and the prospect for even more money in the future.

I wonder will the Estate do the same or will they force the issue takin this all the way to a jury?
