Peter Jackson passed over for The Hobbit and LOTR Prequel by New Line

[Proletariat]

It wasn't the accents alone. The jarring pastel look I remember most of the scenes having coupled with a story I've never thought much of set up the accents to be the straw that broke the camel's back.

The story was written with more emphasis on the setting than a character plot or action plot, and I could never really get past that. As a movie it seemed even more silly, imho.

Anyway, I'll bid the thread adieu before I burn too many bridges by insulting such a Orgah popular film, but none of you Tolkein fanboys are ever allowed to make fun of Kevin Costner's Robin Hood if you think accents are such a minor issue in making a decent film.
