In my opinion, the only way it is true is if it is Zaentz, not the Estate

As Sir Dennis notes in this thread, I have previously pointed out that Saul Zaentz appears to have claimed in the past that he owns the rights to this type of thing. The only way that I believe this rumor could be true is if, in fact, they are trying to go forward without the acquiescence of the Tolkien Estate. If in fact that is true, I think it would be true travesty and probably generate a lawsuit that dwarfs the previous one, and the ongoing one (or, perhaps more likely, is consolidated with and consumes the ongoing suit).

Wasn't this part of the plan announced with the green light in 2010? //

Non-stop rain would kind-of ruin the fun of an out-door amusement park. :P :P //

How cool is that! However, I don't get how the PJ films are an afront to JRR's writings, but THIS is not at all a mainstream money grab?
