Jackson's production company also tangled with New Line in 2005 over profits from the films. A lawsuit was settled last year.Between the above and the subject of the article, it seems like New Line has a problem with paying up on what it rightly owes people.

New Line is pretty scummy for doing this.

it seems like New Line has a problem with paying up on what it rightly owes people.It would seem so. I was pleased that PJ was able to settle his differences, they seemed irreconcilable for a while there. I hope this too, gets taken care of so we can look forward to a Hobbit movie.

That’s some pretty serious coin. New Line should probably pay up before some “nassssty orcssesss” come collecting.

To think that Hollywood is full of socialist, liberal, communist leaning wannabes... Oddly, it doesn’t strike me as funny that they’d impose a “tax” on the original content, depriving authors and writers of a share of the same.

Sounds like New Line doesn't like sharing their profits with anyone.

Time for New Line to re-jigger the books so that they don’t show a profit.

The thing that would truly put the fear of God into them would be to give the property rights to the films to the plaintiff.

The movies were pretty good, though I was disappointed that they cut out Tom Bombadil. They did stay relatively true to the tales though, and kept a good sense of right/wrong and good/evil.

Huh—I thought Tolkein sold the rights to LOTR many years ago for a pittance, claiming it was “unfilmable”—I didn’t know there was anything contracted for a share of gross receipts.
