It does make me fearful that if the two proposed movies make a billion or so for New Line, Peter Jackson's The Silmarillion won't be too far behind.
You're talking to Serenity. And, Early... Serenity is very unhappy.

Buffista Movies 6: lies and videotape
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

What's the problem with that?

Yeah! I wasn't really into it for the first few episodes, but I ended up loving it and the characters more than I expected.

I wonder how many films the Silmarillion would make?
I'm already anticipating a two day EE Hobbit/LotR Pentology viewing!

I somehow missed the bit where it said that PJ isn't going to be directing the Hobbit.

Except that he isn't - he's too busy with the Lovely Bones and Tintin. (!!) to direct.
