CJRT has resigned as director of the Tolkien Estate. (As early as August actually. Multiple sources confirm so I guess this is not just a hoax?) It shouldn't be that surprising - he's 93 and hinted as early as April that Beren and Lúthien would probably be the last of his father's works that he'd edit and published - and yet... it is.

Well, this is certainly a gamechanger, isn't it, and opens up a whole new range of possibilities for the TV rights Amazon has bought. O.ó
