Don't let's forget that Peter Jackson had an asset unavailable to  
WB at any price: two generations of actors, artists and 
filmmakers who had grown up with Tolkien from childhood. The 
first 'Rings' movie was a commercial and artistic failure...maybe 
in fifty years HP will get the movie it deserves.
