this is the most doomer thing in the article for me. Please just let LOTR die.
So Andy completely buys into Orwell's elitist vision of the world. That's just great. Luckily the movie is going to bomb because only weirdos like us are paying attention to it.
The hunt for gollum source material wise is super super straightforward. They find him and the Aragon has to drag him all around kingdom come while he's super not cooperative. It would make for such a bad movie. I should personally be given the film rights to lotr and the budgets. My Children of Hurin trilogy would blow everyone away
Not that any of the adaptions they're making are going to be good, but my understanding they are basically only allowed to adapt whats in the original Trilogy (Including appendices) and the Hobbit. So that's why there's a dogshit Rings of Power amazon show and the Hunt for Gollum.
I'll do it anyway
