Hi there,<P>I am new here also but I would like to add that while I also find the comercial angle that has been taken with The LOTR films distasteful, I beleve that the financial succsess of the LOTR trilogy will help encourage the film industry to take a look at High Fantasy as a Viable genre. <P>We can hope that as the net widens for film scripts that other authors works also get the Peter Jackson treatment. I for one am hoping that Messers Gemmell/Feist and Lady Hobb all are in the running for Films of there Work.
