+-   LoTR lawsuit threatens Hobbit production-> on Wednesday July 15, @07:20PM eyrieowl

eyrieowl writes "J.R.R.'s heirs are suing for royalties on the LoTR films. Apparently they haven't gotten any money due to some creative accounting. Peter Jackson ought to understand...he had to sue the studio for much the same reason.

As for The Hobbit? FTFA: "Tolkien's family and a British charity they head, the Tolkien Trust, seek more than $220 million in compensation...[and]...the option to terminate further rights to the author's work".

As much as people want to see The Hobbit, I hope the Tolkien's get everything they are owed and more."
