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 1278 Views
Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Legolas - 13/11/2017 08:51:39 PM 860 Views
What would you have them make instead? The Shrike - 13/11/2017 11:47:34 PM 829 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 547 Views
This is illogical. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 06:43:11 PM 828 Views

This worst that could happen is it would suck *NM* random thoughts - 15/11/2017 05:24:34 AM 505 Views
Probably. But that's how I see it. *NM* Legolas - 14/11/2017 08:49:47 PM 522 Views
So not looking forward to this Roland00 - 13/11/2017 09:11:32 PM 846 Views
It's a business. And businesses are inherently conservative about gambling. The Shrike - 13/11/2017 11:49:01 PM 866 Views
Yes there is some logic to it. Roland00 - 13/11/2017 11:57:04 PM 805 Views
Chances are good. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 12:23:08 PM 948 Views
The GOT tv show will still be there in a decade or so Roland00 - 14/11/2017 05:29:43 PM 840 Views
But by then you will be spoiled on how it ends. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 05:33:15 PM 848 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 949 Views
You're starting to become Joel-like in the length of your replies. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 07:01:24 PM 814 Views

Shame Roland00 - 14/11/2017 07:34:25 PM 786 Views

I haven't seen anything about Frodo. The Shrike - 13/11/2017 11:49:50 PM 797 Views
The first paragraph of the article you linked random thoughts - 14/11/2017 02:04:13 AM 865 Views

Nooo AgentApple - 14/11/2017 06:26:01 PM 764 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 860 Views
You could go with Turin Turamber, And Beren and Luthien. *NM* AgentApple - 15/11/2017 02:34:16 PM 494 Views
Beren and Luthien would be great The Shrike - 15/11/2017 04:31:33 PM 767 Views
There's not a lot of Tolkien that isn't sad, though. Ghavrel - 17/11/2017 11:16:17 AM 815 Views
Perhaps we can do a series about the EntWives The Shrike - 17/11/2017 01:48:15 PM 808 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 480 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 484 Views
Nicely done *NM* damookster - 15/11/2017 04:35:57 AM 451 Views
I heard it was going to be a musical Tom - 14/11/2017 10:28:28 PM 786 Views
I really do love that version of ROTK. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 10:53:50 PM 796 Views
It's a guilty pleasure, isn't it? Tom - 15/11/2017 04:25:23 AM 754 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 929 Views
I have to admit to being worried. nossy - 15/11/2017 08:46:57 AM 1418 Views
I think we all are. We have been with these characters for decades. The Shrike - 15/11/2017 01:15:12 PM 788 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 744 Views
Well, The Hobbit is a prequel. The Shrike - 15/11/2017 04:33:03 PM 808 Views
That is like calling the Fellowship a prequel to Two Towers random thoughts - 15/11/2017 07:09:51 PM 802 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 508 Views
So we have two separate entities here. The books and the movies. The Shrike - 17/11/2017 01:49:45 PM 813 Views
I see your point ... but is it really a prequel without Jar-Jar? Tom - 17/11/2017 02:34:24 PM 793 Views
I wish they'd make a Pern series instead. Rebekah - 15/11/2017 03:33:46 PM 1120 Views
Re: I wish they'd make a Pern series instead. The Shrike - 15/11/2017 04:36:57 PM 776 Views
I want them to make 2112 into a movie *NM* random thoughts - 16/11/2017 01:10:23 AM 462 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 478 Views
Hmm, not sure what to think of this! Anonymous2000 - 17/11/2017 02:00:36 AM 849 Views
