The PJ trilogy still holds up today.

That's a pretty high bar

Just don’t watch it.

You don’t have to watch every damn thing involving your fandom. It’s pure capitalistic greed at this point.

Let a franchise fucking die already.

Demand better movies and don’t engage with film as product. Find passionate storytellers and not greedy corporate executives looking to milk every last drop of nostalgia for profits.

New “Lord of the Rings” movies scheduled to be cancelled after completion by David Zazlav for a tax break

Is it just me, or had anyone else lost all hope for good Lotr shows after Rings of Power? I saw lots of potential squandered by poor writing, and I fear more Lotr content is just going to be more content, not good stories.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us

So I tried to find more info on it and it seems like they are not remaking the trilogy. Multiple movies set in various time periods before the Hobbit and LotR are currently written. That's not really great but it is way better than a remake IMHO.

The copyright expires in 2044. The Perter Jackson series came out 2001-2003. From a studio point it is approaching the now or never time. They need to make one within the next few years to be able to make a 3rd one just before the end of copyright. From a studio buisness perspective this makes sense and is kind of a no-brainer.

This shit needs to stop. Same with Marvel, Star Trek, Star Wars…. All of this shit needs to stop.

Gondor has no remake. Gondor needs no remake.

i love how nobody sees this as good news

This is an article from February 2023 about War of the Rohirrim and similar projects, not a remake of the 2001 trilogy.

The thing is that, even if these new ones are the most awful media ever produced. It doesn't change anything about the old ones. They will still stay awesome. They don't depreciate just because other media exist. Or that would have already happened with the Rings of Power.

I just wish they put this time and effort into other franchises. I want more Discworld.

In a dream scenario where they can get the right people to do it, I would vastly prefer a TV series. Even with the extended editions, there's a ton of material in the books we didn't get to see. Things like the whole sequence with the elves early in the books being turned into "hey look there's some elves", no Tom Bombadil, the journey from Rivendel to Moria. And that's just the first book.

I think most would agree the world building is one of the best aspects of the books and there just isn't time for that in a feature film.

If I was going to do more lotr content, I'd probably do something with the Eastern front of the war. What did the blue wizards get up to?

Oh no

Hard no

I suppose it was only a matter of time. Please don't be total ass.

and they are going to mess with perfection wtf.

I'm really hoping this is manufactured content here.

Edit: after google searching

Maybe they're gonna do the The Hobbit right this time?

Oh who am I kidding. It'll be the fanfic backstory of Tom Bombadil or something.
