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. Legolas - 13/11/2017 08:51:39 PM 643 Views
What would you have them make instead? The Shrike - 13/11/2017 11:47:34 PM 605 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 388 Views
This is illogical. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 06:43:11 PM 595 Views

This worst that could happen is it would suck *NM* random thoughts - 15/11/2017 05:24:34 AM 347 Views
Probably. But that's how I see it. *NM* Legolas - 14/11/2017 08:49:47 PM 382 Views
So not looking forward to this Roland00 - 13/11/2017 09:11:32 PM 615 Views
It's a business. And businesses are inherently conservative about gambling. The Shrike - 13/11/2017 11:49:01 PM 643 Views
Yes there is some logic to it. Roland00 - 13/11/2017 11:57:04 PM 574 Views
Chances are good. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 12:23:08 PM 711 Views
The GOT tv show will still be there in a decade or so Roland00 - 14/11/2017 05:29:43 PM 627 Views
But by then you will be spoiled on how it ends. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 05:33:15 PM 612 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 699 Views

Oh gods. I had to stop watching that. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 08:28:39 PM 625 Views

I'm worried that they said Frodo is coming back random thoughts - 13/11/2017 09:37:49 PM 667 Views
I haven't seen anything about Frodo. The Shrike - 13/11/2017 11:49:50 PM 563 Views
The first paragraph of the article you linked random thoughts - 14/11/2017 02:04:13 AM 626 Views
Yeah, I see that now. Sloppy journalism. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 12:20:32 PM 592 Views
I was assuming they will ignore the Peter Jackson story line and cast random thoughts - 14/11/2017 03:30:12 PM 580 Views
Nooo AgentApple - 14/11/2017 06:26:01 PM 549 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 636 Views
You could go with Turin Turamber, And Beren and Luthien. *NM* AgentApple - 15/11/2017 02:34:16 PM 338 Views
Beren and Luthien would be great The Shrike - 15/11/2017 04:31:33 PM 555 Views
There's not a lot of Tolkien that isn't sad, though. Ghavrel - 17/11/2017 11:16:17 AM 565 Views
Perhaps we can do a series about the EntWives The Shrike - 17/11/2017 01:48:15 PM 583 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 327 Views
In related news, I shouted at the movie screen when a Black Panther preview came on Cannoli - 13/11/2017 11:57:58 PM 672 Views

I really do love that version of ROTK. The Shrike - 14/11/2017 10:53:50 PM 543 Views
It's a guilty pleasure, isn't it? Tom - 15/11/2017 04:25:23 AM 539 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 709 Views
I have to admit to being worried. nossy - 15/11/2017 08:46:57 AM 1033 Views
I think we all are. We have been with these characters for decades. The Shrike - 15/11/2017 01:15:12 PM 555 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 526 Views
Well, The Hobbit is a prequel. The Shrike - 15/11/2017 04:33:03 PM 593 Views
That is like calling the Fellowship a prequel to Two Towers random thoughts - 15/11/2017 07:09:51 PM 574 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 375 Views
So we have two separate entities here. The books and the movies. The Shrike - 17/11/2017 01:49:45 PM 580 Views
I see your point ... but is it really a prequel without Jar-Jar? Tom - 17/11/2017 02:34:24 PM 570 Views
I wish they'd make a Pern series instead. Rebekah - 15/11/2017 03:33:46 PM 746 Views

I want them to make 2112 into a movie *NM* random thoughts - 16/11/2017 01:10:23 AM 316 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 321 Views
Hmm, not sure what to think of this! Anonymous2000 - 17/11/2017 02:00:36 AM 614 Views
