-------------------------
a tv limited series would work well but I think there's
just too much $$$$$ in movies (and more scope for PJ's pyrotechnics, which is
both good and bad- since he seems to get carried away with battle scenes).
Still, the Battle of Five Armies is almost tailor-made for him, especially with the
big finale with Beorn.

I know that the movie money means that this is unlikely to happen - I just feel that it will be so simplified to get it down to a child friendly length and that the story as it stands would fit the format so well. I quite agrre about the battle scenes being excessive - I mean they spent more time on the cave troll than Lorien
