I can never emphasize enough how crucial his support was for my book. Those who have read it may have noticed that I dedicated the book to Barrie. I got to watch him in action as a producer a few times, and of course, he's tremendous at that. He held a tremendously complicated project together and made it happen on time--which as we all know was very difficult for the third film especially. As I mentioned in my post, New Line required me to get letters from the Tolkien Estate and HarperCollins, saying that they understood that my book would not violate their trademarks and copyrights. I wrote to them, emphasizing that I am an academic film historian and that I felt the film--whatever one thought of it--was going to be very historically important. I had published one essay on THE HOBBIT in MYTHLORE, so I think the Tolkien Estate realized that I was seriously interested in the books as well. They very kindly sent the required letter, as did HarperCollins. That was a big hurdle, and if they hadn't agreed, that would have killed the project. As at many points in the book project, I was very lucky. (Your English is quite good--certainly very understandable!)
