I'm kind of excited about this. Could be very cool if done right. That's a big if, though.

Wow if this is actually happening I'm amped.
It will ultimately all depend on if they hire the right creative team to spearhead the project. Gotta get the best in the business to not fuk this up.

So Christopher resigned as the head of the Tolkien Estate.
Suddenly, everything is explained.

Apparently, Amazon has committed to five seasons and is expected to spend over a billion on this series... Christ.

I wish amazon was adapting a different fantasy series rather then attempt to create some fan-fiction set in ME.

Also reporting that Peter Jackson may produce.
I really really really want this to be good. A middle earth TV show could be so damn cool. I just hope they put some of that budget into hiring world class writers/directors and not just CGI, costumes and environment.

F*ck yes! With over 200million being the budget per season, I'd expect some fairly top notch writers, directors and actors.

So they revealed the title:
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power
Fairly decent "trailer". Apparently the voice over is done by the new Galadriel actress. Quite a downgrade from Cate Blanchett. Hopefully she does better in the show proper.

Yeah agreed, that voice didn't do it for me, didn't carry any weight. Not sure if it's the voice itself or because Blanket did it so well and it's what's been ingrained in my head as proper.
Still f**king hyped over this. They better not sodomize it like they did with The Wheel of Time.

I wish it wasn't. I know it's likely going to suck. Heck, since it's LotR, even if it's merely mediocre I'll be disappointed.

I always thought the movies were highly over-rated. Whatever though. Maybe the tv show would somehow be better

Now a proper Conan show... that should happen. Could be epic with the right directors, writers, actors.

Watch this be nothing but "The Adventures of Tom Bombadil", and other characters no one ever asked to learn about or care for.
Tom Bombadil is a ****ing treasure.

Did you ever see the live action TV show from the 90's? It was so bad it actually improves if you watch it in black and white, the hammy acting and effects feel right at home.
