I was assuming they will ignore the Peter Jackson story line and cast random thoughts Send a noteboard - 14/11/2017 03:30:12 PM

I know I would in their place. You can always just claim you are staying truer to the book. Of course these characters have become so iconic it may be like giving Dorothy silver slippers.

Amazon Making a LOTR Universe Show (Prequel) The Shrike - 13/11/2017 08:17:44 PM 1327 Views
Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Legolas - 13/11/2017 08:51:39 PM 889 Views
What would you have them make instead? The Shrike - 13/11/2017 11:47:34 PM 864 Views
Uh, nothing, I guess? They've made movies of everything they could, and way too soon for remakes. *NM* Legolas - 14/11/2017 06:37:41 PM 576 Views
This is illogical. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 06:43:11 PM 863 Views

This worst that could happen is it would suck *NM* random thoughts - 15/11/2017 05:24:34 AM 526 Views
Probably. But that's how I see it. *NM* Legolas - 14/11/2017 08:49:47 PM 551 Views
So not looking forward to this Roland00 - 13/11/2017 09:11:32 PM 876 Views
It's a business. And businesses are inherently conservative about gambling. The Shrike - 13/11/2017 11:49:01 PM 905 Views
Yes there is some logic to it. Roland00 - 13/11/2017 11:57:04 PM 842 Views
Chances are good. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 12:23:08 PM 987 Views
The GOT tv show will still be there in a decade or so Roland00 - 14/11/2017 05:29:43 PM 877 Views
But by then you will be spoiled on how it ends. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 05:33:15 PM 885 Views
I didn't think it would end this way. / End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another Roland00 - 14/11/2017 06:49:38 PM 987 Views
You're starting to become Joel-like in the length of your replies. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 07:01:24 PM 853 Views
Sorry I get quotey when I get sentimental Roland00 - 14/11/2017 07:26:03 PM 874 Views

Shame Roland00 - 14/11/2017 07:34:25 PM 829 Views

I haven't seen anything about Frodo. The Shrike - 13/11/2017 11:49:50 PM 823 Views
The first paragraph of the article you linked random thoughts - 14/11/2017 02:04:13 AM 900 Views

Nooo AgentApple - 14/11/2017 06:26:01 PM 802 Views
there really isn't a scenario that doesn't have high a likelyhood of sucking random thoughts - 15/11/2017 03:14:46 AM 898 Views
You could go with Turin Turamber, And Beren and Luthien. *NM* AgentApple - 15/11/2017 02:34:16 PM 515 Views
Beren and Luthien would be great The Shrike - 15/11/2017 04:31:33 PM 801 Views
There's not a lot of Tolkien that isn't sad, though. Ghavrel - 17/11/2017 11:16:17 AM 855 Views
Perhaps we can do a series about the EntWives The Shrike - 17/11/2017 01:48:15 PM 840 Views
Also, if the network wants to go wild with Trump stand-ins they could do Numenor *NM* AgentApple - 15/11/2017 02:44:58 PM 508 Views

You got it damookster - 14/11/2017 11:39:46 PM 775 Views
Whether you're a goblin or whether you're a hobbit you're tired of the rings, tired of the rings *NM* Tom - 15/11/2017 04:27:12 AM 503 Views
Nicely done *NM* damookster - 15/11/2017 04:35:57 AM 475 Views
I heard it was going to be a musical Tom - 14/11/2017 10:28:28 PM 822 Views
I really do love that version of ROTK. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 10:53:50 PM 830 Views
It's a guilty pleasure, isn't it? Tom - 15/11/2017 04:25:23 AM 786 Views
I have no guilt. I'm done with guilt over what I do like and don't like! The Shrike - 15/11/2017 01:12:50 PM 968 Views
I have to admit to being worried. nossy - 15/11/2017 08:46:57 AM 1465 Views
I think we all are. We have been with these characters for decades. The Shrike - 15/11/2017 01:15:12 PM 822 Views
Everything I hgave seen says a LOTR not a Hobbit prequel so I don't think you will get any first age random thoughts - 15/11/2017 02:42:50 PM 778 Views
Well, The Hobbit is a prequel. The Shrike - 15/11/2017 04:33:03 PM 840 Views
That is like calling the Fellowship a prequel to Two Towers random thoughts - 15/11/2017 07:09:51 PM 851 Views
It's not really a prequel if it was written before the thing it's a prequel to, is it? *NM* Tom - 17/11/2017 04:19:35 AM 530 Views
So we have two separate entities here. The books and the movies. The Shrike - 17/11/2017 01:49:45 PM 857 Views
I see your point ... but is it really a prequel without Jar-Jar? Tom - 17/11/2017 02:34:24 PM 832 Views
I wish they'd make a Pern series instead. Rebekah - 15/11/2017 03:33:46 PM 1153 Views
Re: I wish they'd make a Pern series instead. The Shrike - 15/11/2017 04:36:57 PM 807 Views
I want them to make 2112 into a movie *NM* random thoughts - 16/11/2017 01:10:23 AM 480 Views
A Temeraire series would seem easier to sell then "the main enemy is mindless space fungus". *NM* Dunstan - 16/11/2017 06:28:12 AM 497 Views
Hmm, not sure what to think of this! Anonymous2000 - 17/11/2017 02:00:36 AM 880 Views
