And those three people in Rivendell. And for what? For a little bit of jewelry? There's more to life than a little jewelry, you know. Don'tcha know that? And here ya are, and it's a beautiful day. Well. I just don't understand it.

Depending on what they have the rights to, I could see them taking Tolkien's unfinished sequel, The New Shadow, and making some sequels based on that. Especially if they play a bit fast & loose with the chronology and have guys like Gimli and Legolas stick around long enough to make cameo appearances for nostalgia bait.

The boat came back "Turns out in the Undying Lands, there's no one to kill!" Gimli and Legolas draw weapons and leap at the Neo-Orcs

I re-watched the Lord of the Rings again recently and they really are a breath of fresh air in their earnestness compared to today's Marvel-filled world. Not a hint of irony about them. It's nice. Also, Viggo Mortensen is the coolest guy in the world

IIRC Tolkien literally got like only one chapter into writing it before realizing that it was going to suck hard and stopped. Real respect.

Megacorp with a single creative braincell divided across a board room of people see lightning in a bottle and assume they must make the same bottle over and over again. ... If they were to make it animated, however, I would be all over that poo poo so hard. Also it has to have a 70s progressive rock score and it has to change art styles every 20 minutes. Maybe I should just watch the Ralph Bakshi one again. Sourdough Sam fucked around with this message at 02:23 on Feb 25, 2023 |

And is pretty much the template for 21st century movie franchises. They've already been trying to recapture that lightning with varying degrees of success.

Wasn't there an entity called The Tolkien Estate that kind of took care not to let poo poo like this happen. Did WB bury them under a mountain of cash?

There might be some hope, WB made the deal with Embracer but there was a lot of doubt when Embracer bought the LotR rights as to if they bought the rights to LotR movies or just the rights the movies already made.

When Amazon bought the limited rights to the Tolkien stuff they had to deal with some restrictions, but I don't know if the contract they signed with what is now WBD is more broad

Honestly he's so under utilised in BCS despite being an incredibly charismatic presence that him being a pain to work with would explain a lot. Plus he's never come back as Scorpion.

FlamingLiberal posted:When Amazon bought the limited rights to the Tolkien stuff they had to deal with some restrictions, but I don't know if the contract they signed with what is now WBD is more broad It's weird, the company that held the LotR rights for multimedia that licensed the original movies Zaents LLC only had the rights for The Hobbit and LotR for stage plays, movies and games. There was a specific exemption for TV shows lasting more than 8 episodes and the Tolkein Estate retained those rights and that's who Amazon negotiated with for The Rings of Power. WB owns the rights to the movies but in the lead up to the sale Zaents was arguing that the rights reverted because WB wasn't actively pursuing anything with the property. Embracer now owns the rights to make movies about The Hobbit and LotR but the rights for The Silmarilion and expanded works still lives with Harper Collins and The Tolkein Estate. They'll have the same restrictions that New Line had with making movies. What they do have Matching Rights, which means if any company comes to Harper Collins and offers to license their rights Embracer has the opportunity to match any offer.

Nah, the fundamental theme of the story is that no matter how the story ends, some things will be lost forever and the world will be poorer because of it and you have to deal with it.
