I hope it's not due to critical response...

I don't think this is the case, he seemed to shrug off 'no nominations' in a genuinely jokey way. But just as pure speculation, it would be terrible if he feels burned out due to the critical reception of the movies. I don't know how important these things are to PJ. But with all the hard work put into this franchise I wonder if the lack of recognition has had an effect on him or caused him stress? I personally think it's unrelated to the movies. He does seem off colour to me, but I think that's his business not ours. I also don't think it's anything serious. He's said in interviews that he's found his rhythm and does't want to slow down (meaning he wants to get to work on new projects as soon as possible) so I don't think it can be that bad. I think I know what the problem could be but I don't think it's our place to discuss it. Although it's of course fine to share concern. But I don't think we need to worry, we get notified about his stomach ulsers, I'm sure we'd be notified if anything worse happened.

what his or your age is but anyone who knows anything about anything about making films knows how incredibly stressful they are...much less making three at once. I'm 30 and its turning me grey. It is obvious that this experience has aged him a bit more than he would have otherwise...but like everyone else I hope he can take it easy for awhile.

Saul Zaentz's death definitely changes things

Whatever else can be said about the man, he was very particular about adaptations, which is why after Bakshi's effort, the rights languished for so long, until Jackson convinced him he could do the job. Now that he is gone, it is certainly possible that the decision-making will be much more money-oriented (not that he didn't love money!). Although he long suffered from Alzheimer's, so it I doubt he was fully in charge for some time before his death last January. I suspect that something will happen before too long, though I am more than a little skeptical about whether it will be worthwhile. Time will tell!

If he had it, then the decisions were almost certainly being made by someone else since his diagnosis. Wonder who that was. This Conservator may not be the same person as the Executor or now, whoever inherited.
