High Noon: ‘The Hobbit’ To Be Filmed

Clearing the way to move forward with its planned two films of “The Hobbit,” New Line Cinema has settled a lawsuit with the TolkienTrust and HarperCollins Publishers over the “Lord of the Rings” films. The trustees of the JRR Tolkien Estate and HarperCollins were co-plaintiffs in a claim filed last year against New Line relating to their profit participation in the highly lucurative “Lord of the Rings” movies. The suit sought to block production of “The Hobbit” films until those claims were resolved. The three films, which were released in 2001, 2002 and 2003, amassed close to $3 billion in worldwide ticket sales. Terms of the settlement were not disclosed/ Los Angeles Times . More here .
