I never said that they could not make three movies

What I said was the same thing that Elizabeth says below, that they have the right to make as many films as they chose, so long as they are not based on material that they don't have the rights to (e.g., UT, the Sil, CoH, etc.). They can make prequels, sequels, fan fiction up the yahoo. There is not, never was, and never will be, a specific agreement that gives them the specific right to make an "original prequel" (no matter how many times Darkstone says that there is). There is, however, an agreement that is sufficiently broad that would allow them to make an "original prequel".
I don't think it will happen, though. Certainly not with del Toro, or with Jackson. It's possible that the studios will try to forcefeed something like that with another director, but if they do, it will be an artistic and commercial disaster. Mark my words.
