So yeah it could be done, but not in a format that would be releasable in a cinema. Maybe as a series of hour-long episodes (like 100 of them, one a week for two years).

That pretty much sums it up. PJ made some damm good movies. But a comercial success ($, thats why they make movies, remember?)is not possible for LOTR if made with a purist in mind.
