There is an article <A HREF="http://www.wizards.com/dnd/article.asp?x=dnd/dx20020111x" TARGET=_blank>here</A> which mentions that Tolkien sold the rights:<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR> Not that this stopped him from selling the film rights or prevent filmmakers from trying to find a way to recreate The Lord of the Rings on film. As far back as 1957, only a year after the final volume came out in the United States, sci-fi fan Forrest (Forrie) Ackerman and some friends got an option on the film rights, eventually producing concept art (which Tolkien loved) and a script (which Tolkien hated). <HR></BLOCKQUOTE>
