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.

Then there was the hatchet-job they did, to Faramir.

Maybe before the lawsuit they could be tarred and feathered....

they only received an upfront payment of $62,500. . . .

That seems like just a Tolkien amount.

I'm still waiting for a movie or three based on The Silmarillion.

All the production houses have a problem with paying out, rightly owed or not they just plain don’t like writing checks.

Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger.

Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

Do not meddle in the affairs of cats, for they are subtle and will piss on your computer.

Do not meddle in the affairs of J.R.R. Tolkien, for his heirs are watchful and quick to go orc on your ass.


-with apologies to Tolkien
