LOTR TV Series now a REALITY!

Personally I have fairly high hopes for this one, due to the involvement of the Tolkien Estate :) At the very least, may it respect the original dialogue, and give us glimpses of scenes never yet put on film (such as the journey through the Old Forest.)
EDIT: I am seeing now that it more or less begins as a LOTR prequel, but that Christopher Tolkien has apparently not sold the rights to "The Silmarillion."
There are certainly loads of background material in the books to play with, though personally I would rather see a by-the-book, episodic adaptation of the LOTR epic, such as the one done by BBC Radio. Who knows, maybe that will come in due time :)
