Oh yes, that thought struck me too. The production company gets cold feet when they see that GdT's designs and script differ to a great degree from how LoTR looked and played; and they deem that they can't take that risk in a very difficult financial market, so they make sure GdT is forced out and get Peter Jackson back in to deliver his "prequel to LoTR", trying to cash in as much as possible on a tried and tested story and concept.
