LOS ANGELES (AP) - The heirs of J.R.R. Tolkien and a movie studio that produced the blockbuster "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy have settled a lawsuit over the films' profits, it was announced Tuesday.

and

Peter Jackson, who directed "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, will serve as executive producer on "The Hobbit" films. The prequels have already endured a legal path as treacherous as the story's trek by hobbit Bilbo Baggins to the Lonely Mountain.

Jackson and New Line feuded for a year over the trilogy's profits before reaching an agreement in 2007 that cleared the way for work on "The Hobbit."

The two prequels will be directed by Guillermo del Toro, who directed the two "Hellboy" movies and "Pan's Labyrinth."

Something to do at Christmas again!

The more I read of the Flick Filosopher, the more she reminds me of Stephen Hunter. Which is unfortunate.

Lurching from one disaster to the next.

Frank ... yeah, there were a few Americans in the original, including Peter Dinklage, who is listed as appearing in the remake. Also, it was directed by Fozzy Bear.

Yoda, you mean I think.

I'm not going to begrudge Peter Dinklage the work. He's an amazing actor, but...

For shame, Frank! Sure, he did Yoda but before Yoda there was Fozzie Bear on the Muppet Show! Which is why the two sound remarkably similar...hence my never being able to take Yoda seriously. I keep expecting him to twirl a bowtie and yell Wah Wah Wah! :)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

There's a famous story of filming Empire Strikes Back on Dagobah in Yoda's house. Luke's talking about reaching out with his feelings, and Oz pops Piggy up into the set.

And before Fozzie there was Grover (who I think sounds even more like Yoda).
