Who even asked for this?
Seriously why the fuck do the retards in charge of lotr keep looking at GOLLUM of all fucking characters and think "oooh yeah this is gonna be a winner baby this is the one thats gonna make the big bucks. Bitches LOVE gollum it literally cant lose."
Like, the fact that this has happened multiple times cannot be a coincidence. They had meetings and shit about how all the data points to gollum, the retard crack addict trash gremlin is the character they need to make multiple pieces of official media centered around.
They dont have a fucking clue. DOA.

Serkis is such a hack

There's only so much they can adapt without the Silmarillion rights, they're literally scraping the bottom of the barrel for new content

>>211412148
they could write something new.

are they making an entire fucking movie about what happens between the first couple scenes in fellowship?

jesus christ

>>211412227
audiences don't like new stories, only recognisable names and IPs

>>211412148
>Slice of life show about Hobbits doing Hobbit shit in the Shire.
>Travels of Aragorn before the events of LotR or Hobbit

>Andy Serkis as a director
uh oh stinky

>>211412102 (OP)
because actors age, gollum is a cgi character and can look the same as he did 25 years ago

>>211412102 (OP)
>Andy Serkis happy to keep getting work
I feel happy for Andy, doing what he loves. I also am mad at Andy for willing doing this slop.

>>211412501
Would've been kino in the 90s or 2000s
Would be utter shit now

blue istari movie following the two into the east could be cool

>>211412102 (OP)
>Gandalf & Saruman: Wizard University

Gollum's literally the worst thing of the original trilogy. I can't even rewatch them without skipping his scenes. Why tf are they making a series dedicated to him, holy hist.

>>211412102 (OP)
>Who even asked for this?
The fans? There's a fan film about it... it's not too bad either.

>>211412102 (OP)
It'd be cool if they got Viggo back for the narrative's framing.

>>211412953
>90s or 2000s
It's where I live still

>>211412832

So, just cast new people in the roles of important characters in LoTR.

>>211412102 (OP)

Half the film is Legolas and also Aragorn hunting Gollum, the other half is Gandalf torturing- I mean conducting enhanced interrogation on Gollum until the Orcs attack and Gollum gets free. At least that is what I remember from the books.

>>211413563
It's a good place. However, please don't become so myopic that you lose track of yourself permanently

Earendil's story would be pretty sick to adapt but they'd fuck it up

>>211414016
In what way?

>>211412501
Young Aragorn could be kino. Hire Townsend for the luls.

>>211414131
wdym in what way

Warner Bros. shareholders

>>211414131
There are unlimited ways that Tolkien's stories can be fucked up. Look at Rings of Power, look at even The Hobbit trilogy.

>>211414537
I remember watching desolation of smaug in imax 3d back in the day and i threw up all over my lap and the floor because i was 10 and I drank a massive slushie
Unrelated but yeah the hobbit movies blew chunks not unlike how I blew chunks all over the theater floor for some poor wagie to clean up

what will the movie even be? in the books gandalf and aragorn speak briefly about hunting gollum. they explain that they travelled pretty far, nabbed him, starved him into compliance and handed him over to elves. doesn't sound like a good premise for a movie.

>>211415052
just a bunch of bullshit that leads to nothing
its basically just gonna be a vehicle for nostalgia wank
If you remember a better film you dont think the shitty one is as bad

>>211415052

Darn, I misremembered and thought (>>211413838) it was Legolas and Aragorn who hunted Gollum. I do remember that Legolas and some other Elves were guards of Gollum until the Orcs attacked as explained at the Council of Elrond. And Gandalf was talking to Frodo about how he found out from Gollum that Frodo had Sauron's ring with him.

They have to do it otherwise they lose the rights.

>>211412102 (OP)
Gollum won that converstion.

Where's the hobbit sitcom?

goes gollum get raped?

>>211412501
>new stories filed with groids, queers, and trannies
No thanks.

>>211412102 (OP)
Gollum is boring as fuck. We already know his entire story. Why not make a Blue Wizards movie? Whatever happened with them?

>>211413838
>So, just cast new people in the roles of important characters in LoTR.
yeah, audiences will love that

>>211413838
Don't forget the mandatory flashbacks of Smeagol having a gay romance with Deagol haunting Gollum.
