It’s a good thing that Tolkien is dead.
They infect everything they touch. They can’t abide civility or morality.
Tolkien’s family was always very careful about granting rights to producer who would be faithful to his writing.
What happened?
Well, the actor who played Gandalf is a flaming gay lib, so he is probably ready to step into a porn version of LOTR. :/
I like Peter Jackson’s 3 LOTR movies. I had some issues with it. I think he missed the mark in certain areas. But they were pretty good.
I really hated the Hobbit movies. Really, really awful.
Amazon wants nudity? Why? Why do these people always insist on ruining the franchise? Don’t they want to make money? Or do they primarily just want to ruin good stuff?
The left destroys everything they touch.
Just what nobody needs, a porn version of LOTH.
“New Line Cinema’s train wreck “The Hobbit” trilogy departed from Tolkien’s intentions. “The Hobbit” trilogy is based on Tolkien’s 300-page children’s book of the same name. There was simply not enough source material in the original book for three two and half hour movies. Although “The Hobbit” movies were not hyper-sexual, they did invent some unsolicited romance, new characters, and plot points. These film adaptations of “The Hobbit” did not recreate the innocent, fantastical spirit of Tolkien’s original book.”
I believe that there is enough material in the three Hobbit films to have made one really good longish movie. Greed stretched it into an absurd trilogy. The scenes they got right, they really got right. As for this new thing that Amazon is doing, it sounds like it will stray even further from the books. When Game of Thrones started doing that, it went to hell in a hurry. Last Kingdom is well down that road, too.
The latter.
Christopher Tolkien died. Thats what happened.
Perverts are gonna pervert.
Tolkien’s son Christopher recently died...
It’s probably got a lot more to do with GOT made fantastic cash. And honestly we don’t ACTUALLY KNOW what Amazon is doing. We just know that some of the calls said must be comfortable with nudity. And of course in the end, as Zelazny and King have said, the books are there. You can’t actually ruin them with a bad adaption. You can ruin your movie or show, but the books are fine.
Actually, know-it-all, Christopher was J.R.R.'s son and guardian of the rights. He died in January.
The family cashing in is simply capitalism. They own an asset and want to maximize their revenue from it.
