I want to know why they couldn't do LotR like they did Mitchner's Centennial. That book is a little shorter than LotR, or maybe about the same size, I can't remember, and the boxed set of the whole movie contains about 10 or 12 videos. From what I've heard it's really good, and Centennial isn't exactly the easiest book to adapt to tape, like LotR: length especially, and number of characters. I think it would be awesome if we could get our hands on production of LotR as long as that!
