That would have been the best possible outcome for all concerned, and the only way that PJ would ever get to make The Hobbit. But, thanks to his foibles in adapting LotR, that will never happen.

Check you facts SoS. Christopher Tolkien is
NOT THE ONE holding up a new film version of the The Hobbit. One movie company (Universal) ones the distribution rights and another (New Line) owns the rights to make it. Once their lawyers settle the difference then it will happen. What CT is holding up is the musuem the PJ wants to open in New Zealand featuring the artwork and props form the movies.
