According to this:

New Line are planning prequels, sequels, series, whatever, to LotR. Is anyone else afriad that we're going to get a new LotR movie every couple of years, till we're all sick to death of them?

I'll come clean. I loved Fellowship, hated/loathed/despised Towers, & fell in love all over again with Return. But is this scheme of New Line just too much.

What do you think?

A prequel, with Aragorn & Legolas off slaughtering Orcs? A sequel with Aragorn & Legolas off slaughtering Orcs? A cartoon series about Merry & Pippin, living in Fangorn with Treebeard, having hilarious adventures outwitting the wily Saruman (voiced by Alan Rickman if Christopher Lee is unavailable?).

Or can we start the petition now to make them stop after the Hobbit?
