      Gollum is the most characteristic and recognisable character fo the random viewer and the timeframe makes plenty of stories available - one could put the whole of Aragorn and Arwen romance into this timeframe, if wanted.

    I’m assuming the Gollum film will also have a focus on Aragorn given he’s the main one hunting Gollum. I think it would be cool to see Aragorn interacting with Elrond’s sons Elladan and Elrohir it’s a good way of introducing some fresh characters that fit within Tolkien’s Lore maybe we might meet someone like Glorfindel too.

      Exactly what i said, it will be in fact the origin story of Aragorn (by flashbacks), remembering his past all the travel way to bring Gollum to elves

    "Might not"? Who the hell is anywhere near excited? Besides those who somehow 🎉enjoyed Hobbit and Power? Hundreds of different stories just dying to be adapted, and yet "them" just focus on a select few.

    Warner wants to extract as much revenue as possible from the IP even if it essentially ruins it and completely alienates fans. Very Disneyesque thinking.

    When I heard that Peter Jackson is involved in another LotR movie, I was really hoping that they would make trilogy "They are taking the Hobbits to Grey Havens"

  • @Notarobot874
    @Notarobot874 12 днів тому +3

    In fact the movie name will be "the hunt for Gollum" but no one said that it will be a Gollum movie, because his protagonist will be Aragorn, and so it will be indirectly an origin story for him, maybe with flashback of his young age like in the event of "born of hope" short movie

  • @kbfrancis7092

    I really can't argue with anything you've said. One point though is the rights. In general the Tolkien Estate is not giving out rights to anything outside of the core books (The Hobbit and LotR). Even the Rings of Power is still based on the LotR appendix.

  • @MC-tl7oj
    @MC-tl7oj 11 днів тому +3

    Anything from the Silmarillion could be an epic series of movies. Why back to the tired concept of gollum? Even they have to stay in the focus of the more modern age, they could cover the war between the dwarves and orcs throughout the iron hills and the misty mountains and the retaking of Khazad-dum explore what Glorfindel was doing defending the free lands against the 9, deep delve into what happened to the Beornings. How about them Blue Wizards??? Theyd have carte blanche to make up anything since there's nothing much about their story!

  • @anni.68
    @anni.68 10 днів тому

    If they focus on the _hunt_ for Gollum and less on Gollum himself, this could become a beautiful Middle-earth movie, with no great battle scenes (which would be a nice change) and more attention to Strider and one of his epic adventures before LOTR, especially because for the hunt of Gollum he has to do some serious travelling again. So, lots of chances to see more of Middle-earth :) For me the best news is that Phillipa Boyens and Fran Walsh are back, too. They are fantastic writers.

    Don't forget Warner Bros. just forced an independent film-maker who made a film with exactly the same name, a pretty good one at that, a fan film made not-for-profit, take down their 25 minute movie from UA-cam. I will not be supporting this film. Peter Jackson should come up with his own idea instead of stealing someone else's...

    The only good thing about The Hobbit was the casting of Martin Freeman. I watched the LotR TV show and tuned out very quickly. We have no need to return to Middle Earth unless we get a truly, faithful to the book, TV series with totally different showrunners and cast.

    WHAT ABOUT THE WITCH KING??? DO THE WITCH KING OF ANGMAR!! Am I the only one who thinks his backstory would be brilliant & make money? Or at least do a TV show that tells his story.

But I'd still think that would be compelling, way more exciting than Gollum. I think they show them holding the 9 rings in the beginning of the Fellowship movie. I've always wanted to know more about them, so you are not alone.

      Fortunately, they don't have the rights. I say fortunately because the obvious story to film is Beren and Luthien, and that's sacred ground. There's no-one I would trust to do it justice.
