Actually, Saucepan Man, I think that PJ <I>did</I> tried to convince the backers on 6 movies. But they would only back the maximum of 3. The backers had orginially wanted only 1 (The horror just thinking about having only 1 LOTR movie made. That would have been drastic!!) And PJ pushed and pushed to have 3, and got his wish. I think he did say, "If I could have it my way, there'd be 6 movies in the making." Or something like that. Does anyone know for sure?
