I'm pretty sure Jackson has explicitly stated that he would not be involved in any sequel, for the obvious reason that there is no material to base it on. As anyone who's at all familiar with the book knows, Frodo is no longer in Middle Earth at the end. How can you make a movie when the lead character is gone?<P>Of course, New Line does own the rights to this and if they wanted to hire some hack, they could do what ever the hell they wanted but I for one am hoping this is nothing more than a rumour.<P>H.C.
