confirms? warns more like.
Gotta beat that dead horse for every last drop of money.
Filthy producerses
“It’s a specific chunk of incredible untold story, told through the perspective of this incredible creature.”.
Yes. Living in a dark cave with some water in it is so incredible. We can only guess why the story was never told.
Also, Gandolf in both films. But they won’t do anything in the 1st or 2nd era. Cowards.
Middle heart: literally thousands of years with if low and characters to be explored
Hollywood: Gollum.
Tolkien’s heirs will not let them touch The Silmarillion. The current show is based on the appendices to LOTR. I watched it for a while and enjoyed it, I’m not caught up. Certainly better than the Hobbit bullshit. Hopefully this opens the door to doing stuff from Sil.
The show is based on the second age. And if you don’t like the show you aren’t gonna like any new movies anyways
I completely forgot about the show.
Is it any good?nope
Thanks. It looks like the horrible Wheel of Time show, but with LotR. Glad to know I’m not wrong.
The first season was ok, and the second season was a little less than ok.
The show simultaneously feels very drawn out in some places and unrealistically quick in others, though usually the first. The different storylines seem completely unrelated or take too long to come together, and almost never in a way that’s satisfying.
There’s some good actors hamstrung by bad dialogue and uninteresting choices. For instance, one of the few intriguing choices they made in the first season is badass warrior Galadriel, and she spends almost the entire second season being aloof and ineffectual. To the show’s credit, season two does have a real climax near the end (looking at you House of the Dragon season two), but they built up zero tension leading up so you don’t really care much.
They also fell for the really big trap in adapting this age onto the screen: there’s too many elves, and they’re boring. They need foils (Gimli to Legolas), yet Durin Jr. and young Elrond aren’t around each other enough for it to do anything.
It’s nice to look at though.
it’s *Gandalf, not “Gandolf” lol
Maybe M. Night Shamalan is directing
Listen. He’s whoever I need him to be, dammit! Who are you to take my dreams away!
Fuckn YAWN Everything has to be a franchise now doesn’t it? They already butchered The Hobbit by turning a short story into 9 hours of crap by padding out and blatantly making shit up. It’s not like all these “safe bets” the studios are making are paying out too well at the moment, so why not try taking some smaller risks with new and different projects? I’m sure Hollywood is flooded with people with original ideas and scripts that are being bypassed because Fast And Fuckaround 11tyone needs to be made because money.
Look, either make “Ken Burns’ The Silmarillion” already or let the franchise rest.
I want a Lego Lord of the Rings trilogy.
They want their studio writers to write it, not a literary master.
Nah I’m good
The only one in the world asking for more Gollum content is Andy Serkis’ bank account.
There will only be three and a half LOTR movies. I’m counting that weird one from the 70’s as the half.
The Rankin/Bass Hobbit cartoon movie from 1977? Or the Ralph Bakshi LotR cartoon/rotoscope adaptation from 1978?
I’m thinking more the 1978 version with the crazy rotoscoping!
I am sure it will be shit.
