Lord of the Rings by Amazon.com. Now featuring gay elf love triangles and heroic pedophile dwarves. You heard it here first.

Will they be able to resist the temptation to use it as a platform to promote leftist narratives?

Unlikely.

They will probably end up bluntly clubbing the viewer with race, gender and class preaching, until they are scrambling to change the channel.

I’m excited. Would love to see all his works produced. Just home Amazon does it right.

I don’t get it. Game of Thrones is working up to a Big Conclusion. A LOTR prequel series will not be working up to a Big Conclusion that matters. Why not take the trilogy and update it? Make it more faithful to the books with some of this supplemental material?

I’ll be impressed when they try to do the Silmarillion.

“...based on Tolkien’s works with an as-yet-unreleased story line. “

It’s going to be a reality show, “Gandalf Knows Best...”
