Inching closer to The Hobbit film

[Sauron the White]

Aha! So you are predicting a billion dollar box office, lots of ancillary income, nearly unanimous critical praise from the professional film critics, and a boat load of awards from the film community?

I am sure the Tolkien Estate thinks so too. Sales of the books were four or five times what they were in the previous five non-film years. I am sure they would welcome a big boost in those profit sharing checks. Win-win situation.
