Even if Jackson said this, in my opinion some material from Unfinished Tales is not even close to bargaining material for Christopher Tolkien to expect the level of creative control I think he would want; personally I doubt total use of Unfinished Tales would bargain him anywhere near 'power enough' to confidently attach his name to a film project.

If he were interested in making a film that is! which he is not.


Rowling was in a very different position here.
