So which paragraph are they going to extrapolate out into 10 episodes?

Already saw it. Too many midgets running around the mountains. They start to blend together.

It isn’t a tv proggram because they are not a tv network.

Jackson did OK with LOTR although I think his three films showed a steady decline in quality and adherence to the books.
His Hobbit movies? OMG. Awful. Just awful. And why more than one??

It isnt a tv proggram because they are not a tv network Then what is it? It's not a film, it's not being shown in theaters.
To: camle
It has to be some stoy line within the sillmarillion. And there’s a lot in there too. And the opportunity to F-it up is limitless.
To: ClearCase_guy
I would be curious how the business side of Amazon bought off on this idea.
Frankly, the whole Hobbit era of movies were pitiful and just weren’t worth watching (I paid for the first one, and saw the remainder via airline travel). At the end, I felt like I’d been at some cheapo amusement park and going from land to land.
To: VanDeKoik
Assuming the base material is from “The Silmarillion” there is more than enough material to “flesh out” a “Game of Thrones” like series.
IF done properly(not like “The Hobbit”)

The first Hobbit movie was a waste of my time.
The second Hobbit movie just made me mad. I deeply regret seeing it. As an example: I swear they made Dain Ironfoot into a version of Fat Bastard from the Austin Powers movies. Just so wrong I cannot imagine what they were thinking.

Never read the books, never saw the movies, wont watch the TV shows................ Loved the books, very much enjoyed the LOTR trilogy (the Hobbit trilogy is another matter), looking forward to the series.
To each their own.

Let me guess, they are going to make Sauron look like Donald Trump and change the land of Mordor to a “Red State”.

I wonder if they will extrapolate the history of the last alliance of Men and Elves, and the one ring. Isildur’s fall under the spell of the one ring would have a proper Game of Thrones feel to it.
or they could do the fall of Numedor.
