There's 3 Lords of the Rings (i.e. Middle-Earth) films coming out starting
this year: Fellowship comes out Christmas 2000, Two Towers comes out Summer
2001, and Return of the King comes out Christmas 2001.  It's a $100 million
budget film from New Line Pictures produced by Wingnut Productions.

ICE (Iron Crown Enterprises) lost their Middle-Earth RPG license, the
speculation is that estate/holding company that handles the licensing asked
for more then ICE could afford.  The Rumor Mill has it that Middle-Earth is
likely to get piked up by Hasbro/WotC as a new introductory setting for D&D
3rd Edition.

It's generally believed that GSI had their license through ICE, but I'm not
sure this is correct.  I checked and I noticed that GSI is still
sub-licensing the game and interestly enough they've licensed it to a 'new'
North American company - Deft Gaming Enterprises now.
