I do, of course, understand why they're going with something tried and tested, but dragons are so now.

Dragons are cool. But maybe they want to avoid that because of the GOT connection.

Pern would be great.

Something also great would be A Natural History of Dragons: A Memoir by Lady Trent.

Naomi Novik's Temeraire series would be good too for Dragons. Dragons in Napoleonic Europe. It would be awesome to see that on screen.

Lots of great material but Amazon won't risk it. It's a shame.

Sounds like a disaster waiting to happen. Legolas - 13/11/2017 08:51:39 PM 668 Views
What would you have them make instead? The Shrike - 13/11/2017 11:47:34 PM 626 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 399 Views
This is illogical. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 06:43:11 PM 615 Views

This worst that could happen is it would suck *NM* random thoughts - 15/11/2017 05:24:34 AM 359 Views
Probably. But that's how I see it. *NM* Legolas - 14/11/2017 08:49:47 PM 397 Views
So not looking forward to this Roland00 - 13/11/2017 09:11:32 PM 640 Views
It's a business. And businesses are inherently conservative about gambling. The Shrike - 13/11/2017 11:49:01 PM 666 Views
Yes there is some logic to it. Roland00 - 13/11/2017 11:57:04 PM 596 Views

The GOT tv show will still be there in a decade or so Roland00 - 14/11/2017 05:29:43 PM 650 Views
But by then you will be spoiled on how it ends. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 05:33:15 PM 636 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 725 Views

I haven't seen anything about Frodo. The Shrike - 13/11/2017 11:49:50 PM 593 Views
The first paragraph of the article you linked random thoughts - 14/11/2017 02:04:13 AM 649 Views
Yeah, I see that now. Sloppy journalism. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 12:20:32 PM 618 Views
I was assuming they will ignore the Peter Jackson story line and cast random thoughts - 14/11/2017 03:30:12 PM 607 Views
Nooo AgentApple - 14/11/2017 06:26:01 PM 569 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 659 Views
You could go with Turin Turamber, And Beren and Luthien. *NM* AgentApple - 15/11/2017 02:34:16 PM 351 Views
Beren and Luthien would be great The Shrike - 15/11/2017 04:31:33 PM 573 Views

I really do love that version of ROTK. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 10:53:50 PM 571 Views
It's a guilty pleasure, isn't it? Tom - 15/11/2017 04:25:23 AM 563 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 732 Views
I have to admit to being worried. nossy - 15/11/2017 08:46:57 AM 1075 Views
I think we all are. We have been with these characters for decades. The Shrike - 15/11/2017 01:15:12 PM 583 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 550 Views
Well, The Hobbit is a prequel. The Shrike - 15/11/2017 04:33:03 PM 613 Views
That is like calling the Fellowship a prequel to Two Towers random thoughts - 15/11/2017 07:09:51 PM 590 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 387 Views
So we have two separate entities here. The books and the movies. The Shrike - 17/11/2017 01:49:45 PM 603 Views
I see your point ... but is it really a prequel without Jar-Jar? Tom - 17/11/2017 02:34:24 PM 594 Views

Hmm, not sure what to think of this! Anonymous2000 - 17/11/2017 02:00:36 AM 640 Views
