Amazon Making a LOTR Universe Show (Prequel) The Shrike Send a noteboard - 13/11/2017 08:17:44 PM

And I am a bit worried about what they will try to do to the source material. Will it get the GOT effect and create an abomination like Peter Jackson's 'The Hobbit'?

I will watch at least one episode. But I am very, very afraid. More afraid of this than the clowns with the red balloons.

Though who knows, maybe they are actually making The Silmarilion . That would be epic if they could succeed in bringing it to screen. And it could last many seasons.

Elves for you.
Elves for you.
Elves for everyone!

Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. - 13/11/2017 08:51:39 PM 461 Views
What would you have them make instead? - 13/11/2017 11:47:34 PM 468 Views
Uh, nothing, I guess? They've made movies of everything they could, and way too soon for remakes. *NM* - 14/11/2017 06:37:41 PM 323 Views
This is illogical. - 14/11/2017 06:43:11 PM 446 Views

This worst that could happen is it would suck *NM* - 15/11/2017 05:24:34 AM 277 Views
Probably. But that's how I see it. *NM* - 14/11/2017 08:49:47 PM 312 Views

But by then you will be spoiled on how it ends. - 14/11/2017 05:33:15 PM 462 Views
I didn't think it would end this way. / End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another - 14/11/2017 06:49:38 PM 557 Views

I was assuming they will ignore the Peter Jackson story line and cast - 14/11/2017 03:30:12 PM 422 Views

there really isn't a scenario that doesn't have high a likelyhood of sucking - 15/11/2017 03:14:46 AM 485 Views
You could go with Turin Turamber, And Beren and Luthien. *NM* - 15/11/2017 02:34:16 PM 270 Views
Beren and Luthien would be great - 15/11/2017 04:31:33 PM 410 Views
