Yes, I do hope that whoever takes up the challange, looks at the book's story, aside from its connection to LotR and the stigma of being a children's book. It really has the detail to be a fine story on its own, if taken seriously. It need not be too dark to work effectively, or too giddy. I for one hope they don't ratchet up the drama at the expense of the story, like they did in LotR. It is good enough without all the artifice.
