The 3rd movie will be almost entirely made up of material from the Appendices at the back of Return of the King, not The Hobbit being stretched out to milk money(although certainly they know the profit margins).

What fan would not want this made?

If anyone has not read the Appendices, I highly suggest it.

I'd rather them make the Simarillion

DOH!

Many fans do not seem to be aware of the fact that Peter Jackson is not legally permitted to use material from other books such as The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales of Numenor and Middle-earth, or even The Adventures of Tom Bombadil and The Road Goes Ever On. And all the information published in The History of Middle-earth and The History of The Hobbit is equally off-limits. This much was made very clear to me by the people at Weta who asked me to help them with research for the “Lord of the Rings” movies.

This makes me sad.

How awesome would it be to see Melkor ruin the creation of middle earth? Or something with Morgoth on a path of destruction?

Or something with Gothmog.
