PJ wants to do The Hobbit {seriously}

[The Saucepan Man]

<BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Of course all of this may be moot as CJRT may [completely understandably imo] decide to use his executive veto to punish PJ's inability to simply build from the book and characters up, instead of telling 'his own version'.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Actually, if I was Christopher, I would licence the rights to New Line right now with a hefty royalty and make a serious amount of money for the estate. After all, the rights are likely to become available at some point (quite possibly after CJT's death) and there are much worse combinations that New Line/Jackson that might get their hands on it.
