    Oh boy, another LotR production that compromises canon to tell a story that shouldn’t exist, to people who don’t want to hear it.

    Andy Serkis is lost up his own ass I guess.

      If you don’t want to hear it there’s an advanced technique you can try called not watching the movie. It’s when you mind your own business and don’t watch things you’re not into.

    Andy Serkis plays all characters via mo-cap CGI of the actors from the Peter Jackson trilogy

    Good on Viggo. This is most likely going to be a massive embarrassment so not getting involved is a smart move.

    If Kate Winslet is in it (Goldberry?) can we have Leonardo DiCaprio (Tom Bombadil) as part of the Titanic Extended Universe

    OH man…

    It seems that nothing really matter, it just doesn’t matter who is cast, who is behind the camera or how much budget the products have, every Middle Earth product: movie, Tv show, Cartoon since Return of the King has been utter dogshit. Hell even Return of the king stumbled a bit at the end, though with good reason.

    Absurdly the best post RoTK Middle Earth product I have experience is the Lego lord of The Rings game.

    Most amazingly even Peter Jackson’s return to Middle Earth was a debacle.

    The only thing that gives me a ray of hope about this , is that it seems Jackson will have time to work on this. Jackson didn’t have enough time for The Hobbit Movies. Then again the more I ponder that, Jackson’s body of work since LOTR has been comically terrible so I am not sure why him having more time gives me hope.
