So someone is writing this up and sending it to the Henson company thing, yes? And CC'ing in Jackson? Because, if this doesn't get made I think I might fall into a brown study.

Very unlikely to get made considering what the rights would cost. Even if they had unlimited budget, the rights holders would no doubt not like the idea because it might (actually it would) detract from the original. This is an example of how copyright laws interfere with freedom of speech.

No. I meant that most of the money would have been made on the original so they wouldn't loose out as much and so would be more likely to sell the rights; not that they would be able to make it regardless. In fact they might his a sweet spot where the owners of the rights thought that it could lead to a minor revival of the original.

The only difference between Gandalf the Grey and Gandalf the White is better laundering.

Gandalf is constantly manipulating and leading people around. Fire magic hiiiiiiiija!
Plus Kermit should be Aragorn, typical white knight. Frodo role would be filled by the usual Muppet device of a human outsider transported in
