Cristopher Tolkien tries to halt The Hobbit

LOTR-ring-Hobbit
My preciouussss......


Christopher Tolkien is 83 and is trying to halt production of The Hobbit.

It's because he hates films and refuses to let his father's work be translated to films. Ironically, it is said he has not even watched any of the Lord Of The Rings movie. (Otherwise he may give Peter Jackson a hug of joy instead).


No matter, he has tried to bring LOTR to court for the same reason before, citing the fact that New Line Cinema owed him money - which was possibly true. But Tolkien is rich and doesn't need the money - it is more a hate for Hollywood is spurring him on. I guess at 83, it's difficult to change your perspectives.

It's a little hypocritical, isn't it? Didn't he ghostwrite one of his father's unfinished works?

He DID. He used unpublished notes from his father's work and published them into a book. But it's not profits he's after, it's just that it seems he just hates films of any kind (or maybe adaptations from books to films of any kind).
