Saul Zaentz, who sold New Line the rights to the movie also sued them a couple of years ago. Some of the actors with smaller roles (like Rosie Cotton) also sued a few years ago. Peter Jackson has already been mentioned, and now the Tolkien Estate (which seems to be a charity called the Tolkien Trust) is suing. Sounds like New Line has been doing some creative accounting.
And with the big shake up going on at Time Warner it's possible they may do away with New Line as a separate studio altogether.
