I can just imagine the gender mixing and other outrages, do Tolkien heirs have no restraining rights?

Even in the epic movie adaptations the relationship between Frodo and sam I’ve always seemed kind of homo erotic. I’m sure he will expand on that.

Jackson did such a bang-up job inventing crap for the three Hobbit films, I can only imagine the wonders he will create when he has four sentences of original source material to work with. Gotta be good for at least six movies.

There must be some old grocery lists and phone message post-its by Tolkien lying around that can be adapted into a new movie trilogy or two.

Given the timing of this announcement, I’m wondering if this is Hollyweird’s payback for the public refusing to eat their Starfleet Acaadwmy crap sandwich.

There is no canon for Golum other than what was stated in Tolkien and explored already in one of the movies.

Like the Amazon horror, Rings of Power, this Jackson movie could only lead to a mess.

Golum, an ugly woman precursor Hobbit, is wrongfully declared a murderer when her birthday present is stolen. Over many centuries of hardship and mistreatment, she becomes a proto-male something or other and in the end finds Its ring and fights to keep it from the rapacious Hobbit and his trans-lover, the oligarchical system and the capitalist rapists.

In the end, Golum becomes a martyr for the rights of LGBTT+++++++++ and a fire god figure.

Jackson peaked with ROTK and King Kong IMHO, he’s been going downhill fast ever since.

I be Gandalf and Radagst express their undying love for each other in this one.

Who exactly will go see this? Tolkein fans are a hard pass after that Hobbit shit sandwich. Young people? Not a chance.

Rings of Power has no fans, so that’s out. Ah the coveted Gollum fanbase and those who want to see a bunch of old guys with deaged faces walking like the old guy in Benny Hill.

Well...that's a not a good sign the project is being taken seriously, then.

It will be unwatchable! Jackson seem intent in diminishing his reputation!

In case you didn’t know, there were at least four homosexual actors in the Peter Jackson series. Ian McKellen was the only one who was “out” at the time but three more have confessed since.

Supposedly Col-bare is a Tolkien expert on par with anyone - but his participation is a non-starter for me.
