For donkeys years they've point blank refused to have much to do with their father's work. More recently Christopher Tolkein has cashed in on his father's work (and genius), but his pathetic, tedious and unreadable attempts at "collating" and publishing his father's unfinished work is just jumping on the bandwagon. Yes, New Line should pay up, but for Christopher Tolkein and his sister to threaten the filming of the Hobbit by the only man capable of doing anything like justice to the book is downright vindictive and an insult to the millions of Tolkein fans, most of whom love the Jackson LOTR trilogy. But then, Christopher Tolkein never did care for his father's fans. He even refused to speak to his own son Simon and grandson Royd when they supported Peter Jackson. I hope he get's a pittance for his nastiness. The JRR Tolkein’s children really are the limit! For donkeys years they’ve point blank refused to have much to do with their father’s work.
