    ...I'm not sure how I feel about this. I hope it doesn't turn out like Star Trek Discovery :P

    Heh I never watched Star Trek Discovery. I don't really know what to think of it either. It could either be very good or very bad.

    Honestly I’m just surprised the Tolkien Estate is even letting them. Christopher is notoriously touchy about his dad’s work. At least when it comes to Peter Jackson’s movies lol. (He didn’t like them very much).

    Edit: I realize now he’s like 90, I’m guessing he had little input in this decision lol. But still, I’m surprised they got the rights.

    Yeh I think Christopher is probably out of the loop now.

    The Tolkein Estate is now being held in trust, so yeah, Christopher is entirely out of the loop. I don't know the details as to how it's organized, but generally, trusts are more concerned with making money than any sort of artistic integrity, which would explain how the Three-Parter-For-No-Reason money-grubbing hobbit movies came into existence.

    Amazon's got money enough to hire a good writer, though, so it might not suck. I'll wait until I see it before passing judgement.

    If they screw with the cast or story I'm sure the world would unite against them and burn Amazon down.

    Absolutely - at the very least it will be an interesting thing to see... good or bad.

    I think this is really bad idea because they can make plot too slow and boring. And because I think that they will show us the same things as in original movies about Lord Of The Rings
