Middle-earth Release Date?

I was just flipping through the May edition of PCGamer, when I stumbled over Middle Earth in the 'Where are they now?' section. Heres a little snippet... PCGamer, May 2000, Middle-earth. Heres the real catch: The original release date was Summer 2000, and the speculated new date is Spring 2001. Our sources believe Sierra is in the design stages of the game and information flow is tight under wraps. I'll keep you updated.
Why we're interested:
C'mon, people, it's Middle Earth. This is one of the greatest fantasy worlds ever conceived, starring characters that have become legends outside the confines of a world that is ripe for exploration. It has so much history and lore but will rely on players really buying in to the setting to ensure it remains true to that focus. With the movies set for release later this year, the timing is perfect to ride the new wave of fascination with Tolkien's creation.
