The guy who explained to me how the negotiation process went up to this point, is saying that talks have now stalled over merchandising royalties for The Hobbit. I am pretty sure that it's just a speed bump. The Tolkien Family sued over merchandising royalties ater the LotR movies. A undisclosed cash settlement was reached and then they gave their blessing for The Hobbit. This seems to be a thing for the Tolkien Family. I bet an undisclosed cash settlement will me reached and then they will give their blessing for thier next oppertunity to sue.
Oh, and did I mention that 2 of my sources are saying that there is nothing to this whole rumor. That Universal isn't even thinking about the LotR?
