We've often thought about suing the studio behind Lord Of The Rings, but that's mainly because Return Of The King was so turgid that it was all we could do not to try and suffocate ourselves in the middle of the second act.
However, a group of JRR Tolkien heirs called the Tolkien Trust has decided to sue the Lord Of The Rings studio for a slightly more pressing matter – it's claiming that New Line owes it $150 million in unpaid royalties.
Of course, $150 million is a lot of money, and if New Line is forced to pay it to the Tolkien Trust, one of its upcoming films might gave to be cancelled. So, if it's the sequel to The Golden Compass, everybody wins.
