mind you, the notion that the Estate will eventually sell the film rights is one that won't go away - just the other day, one of our fellow TorNsibs ventured the opinion that 'cash still counts' and that the Estate might change its mind when they see how well the Hobbit movies do. (this is a paraphrase; sorry if I'm remembering incorrectly). I'd like to talk about the phrase 'cash still counts' - I think that's to misunderstand the people who make up the Tolkien estate, and what the functions of that estate are. (see my post above). I don't think cash is the big deciding factor for them. Odd though it may sound. There's a Chair at Oxford called the 'J.R.R. Tolkien Professorship of English Literature and Language' , which was established years before the movies were thought of. I think the Tolkien estate has somethingto do with that. Anyway; to my mind, Tolkien's intellectual legacy seems to me to be uppermost in the minds of his Estate. not mere money.
