The Zaentz Co. holdings encompass rights to exploit “LOTR” and “The Hobbit” properties in film, video games, merchandising, live events and theme parks. It also includes limited matching rights should the Tolkien estate decide to make movies or other content based on two compilations of Tolkien writings that were published after his death in 1973: “The Silmarillion” and “The Unfinished Tales of Numenor and Middle-Earth.”

Goodnight sweet prince....

Every Tolkien work is about to get destroyed. The family should sell to a true believer in the work, but they won't. They'll sell to Disney or Amazon... Who will then deface and destroy everything good and righteous about this most protected property.

I can't stomach what is going to happen to it...

I wish some unknown super fan billionaire would buy the rights and do right by everything, but we all know that won't happen.

The family has not owned the rights to LOTR or the Hobbit since 1966.

You do realize that no matter who buys it and no matter how many movies and games they make, you aren’t required to view or play them right? It won’t change his original works nor the movie series from 01-03.

Y’all melt about anything these days.
