I remember reading that what we're seeing lately is a sort of mad dash to churn out as much media as they can before the IP becomes public domain.

When it happens, just pretend they're LOTR themed movies. Much easier to swallow.

It's going to be. Don't have any hopes for it, just don't. In fact, I'd argue just don't see it unless we hear that it's phenomenal for some reason after it's been released.
