Film Rights to First & Second Age - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Things are only accepted - until they are not. History and human nature have shown that again and again and again.

Up until recently, there seemed to be no interest in filming events other than the main body of LOTR and HOBBIT. And that still may be the way things are in reality. I, we, many of us are speculating about things that are only seen as shadows in the cave lit by a fire which at times burns bright and then wanes. So this is conjecture.

My point is a simple one that I feel nearly everyone has overlooked. The holder of the film rights to LOTR and HOBBIT owns much much more than most people have taken for granted. And, if they were willing to push the issue with some creative legal thinking, they could own even more.
