a sequel trilogy like SW?
The Ring Awakens
The Last Wizard/King
The Rise of Baggins
The odds that they will suck are about... 99/100.
The first round of movies were made by people who absolutely loved the material, who knew how to please both the fandom and the mainstream (because they were part of the fandom), and who loved their country and wanted to show it to the whole world. The whole trilogy is a huge labor of love, and IMHO that's one of the things that made the films so popular. It was a magic that can't be recaptured or replicated, not even the same crowd could pull it off again when they made the godawful "Hobbit" movies.
Don't forget woke too. Gonna be a lot of POC. They'll try to cancel out Peter Jackson movies and make it non-canon, probably.
shareAs the only one here who born in Middle Earth and been member of Fellowship of the Ring I really skeptic about the movie chance to captured Tolkien vision (the best historian of the middle earth).
On other note, LOTR: The Fellowship of the Ring is the best movie between the three and the most historical accurate.
It'll probably be dogshit and just another iteration of that horrible show "Rings of Power."
shareThis already smells of 'modern' bullshit
shareMake it more about sex. More sexy. Like a sex quest. Or sex adventures.
shareThe David Zaslav-led studio hopes to woo back Peter Jackson for more installments. But as Amazon bets big on its $1 billion series, insiders worry that Tolkien's franchise isn't big enough for two rival visions.

I would like a movie from Gollum's point of view where he's the hero and the Hobbits are the villains.
shareI shudder to think of what they might do, even with Peter Jackson at the helm. They at least have access to the Simarillion and several other works Amazon doesn't. Unless they can keep the woke shit out, this won't go over any better than what happened with "Rings of Power."
