First we saw the accountants and attorneys for Saul Zaentz go up against the accountants and attorneys of New Line Cinema. Then Peter Jackson assembled his own legion of numbers crunchers and did the same. Even the lower tier bit actors like Rosie Cotton got into the act and hired legal atalent to get their share of merchandising monies. Now its the Tolkien Estate with their own company of lawyers and forensic accountants.

The Battle of the Five Armies takes on an entirely new meaning.
