I sense a cinematic disaster and if Jackson has any sense he will disassociate himself from it immediately.

I’ll be staying away in droves. Anyways I never see these stupid crypto-leprechaun movies.

The only disappointment I had with the Jackson LOTR treatment was the disinclusion of Tom Bombadil. That and the scouring of the Shire.

No Good comes of these morons. The trust that sold rights should be sued for defamation of character of a great Chritian writer.

We've seen Stephen Colbert's productions. Expect him to produce a gay porn movie.

This is dead in the water.
The ongoing destruction of Tolkien’s works has turned most fans towards dreading whatever the woke plan.
I won’t see it. Colbert is not a good partner for this.

On my first reading of the Rings, 1967, age 15, I loved the books but recognized Bombadil as the true Appendix I. A vestigial character that was an oddly boring cul de sac. I skipped him in later readings. I got the point, no need to revisit a hermit Christ and his bodacious wife.

If you want to know why thus crap still gets money thrown at it...

Look at who owns and runs movie studios.

And I don’t just mean the political aspect.

Thank God for AI.

I’ll take DIY.

If he is a fan, he has no clue what he is reading. IMHO any Tolkien fan will lean conservative at a minimum, no way you can read those stories, understand them and have a strong progressive bent.

That being said I will not bother to watch, I just don’t see any good coming from it and have no desire to see only more desecration of Tolkien’s works.

Funny, I’ve read all of Tolkien’s books and I don’t remember that one...

Colbert is an absolute Tolkien fanatic.

He is a walking encyclopedia of knowledge regarding “The Silmarillian”

"The Hunt for Gollum."

SPOILER: They don't find Gollum, however they do return with Leonard Nimoy.

Gollum will be played by none other than James Carvelle, that purple pumpernell of the Demoncrap Partay.
