The Hobbitt would be an interesting film, but would lack the depth of the LOTR series, after all the Hobbitt is more of a chidlren's book in my opinion.
Also, I do think that while the LOTR trilogy was excellently made, it does sort of cheapen what the public thinks of the book. I remember back in high school when we were required to read the series (this was approximately 6 years ago before the movies came out) I was awestruck and could not stop reading it. This was because I had no pre-conceived notion of what the book was about or what it "should" be like. Unfortunately I think that whoever sees the movie from this point on, THEN reads the book, will not get the same experience that the pre-movie reader had.
