    New Line doesn't seem to be a partner you would want to do business with, if the 'facts' stated in the report are actually true. A shame really.

    I had read that the Tolkien estate wasn't happy with the Peter Jackson films before, so this isn't really a surprise.

    I wonder how it will all turn out.

    I thought the love of money is the root of all evil, as in you love your money more than your honey.

    The now-defunct New Line Cinema loved their money too much that they forgot to fairly share their revenues.
    Anyhoo, just some random thoughts...
