Lord of the Rings They're Remaking Lord of the Rings

[Bear Ribs]

Yeah, apparently after the massive success that was Rings of Power they've decided to remake the Jackson Trilogy. There's pretty much nobody attached to this yet, no cast and the director hasn't even been chosen, but for some reason LotR fans are wary and there're already a few predictions about it.

I wish I could say I'm surprised.

Anyway, I hope they all die in a fire.

Alternatively, but still in light of what just happened with Rings of Power - Tolkien fans to Hollywood:

This tweet currently has about four times more likes than the announcement does.

Can we just make Lord of the Rings and just add that to it.

 

[Bacle]

This is something that should not be; the Rings of Power is fine/passable, but remaking the films would only tarnish the careers of everyone involved.

Jesus Holy Christ, they really haven’t learned a damn thing have they? It truly can’t be about the money. It’s all about the message for these maniacs.

I noticed this as a headline while browsing through a newsfeed, but I didn't click on/read it. It did, however, contain "[,,,]for modern audiences[...]" in the article's description, and that alone made me facepalm.

Modern audiences, to Hollywood? Didn't the Saint's Row reboot use that terminology?

They could take this opportunity to imagine a new look, rather than allowing John Howe and Alan Lee to continue dictating how Middle-Earth looks. How about a Middle-Earth that looks like the Hildebrandt brothers' artwork? But Hollywood is creatively bankrupt and I fully expect them to copypaste the Jackson movie aesthetics but with crappy plastic looking CGI, just like Rings of Power.

The Wedding of the King by the brothers Hildebrandt.

Now, hold on fellas. Where does it say in any of the recent headlines going around, that Warner Bros is "Remaking the Lord of the Rings trilogy"? By all means correct me if I have missed anything; but, they could just as well be making further movies about other events and happenings throughout the third age.

But hey, I'm an optimist.

How very medieval...and surprisingly a breath of fresh air compared to a lot of art these days.

Anyway...shit! Fuck! And who are they getting to direct this crap? J.J. Abrams? Great...we might as well rename it Lord of Lens Flare.

After what he did to Star Trek 09...

Even less and less likely to be satire now!

The OP is misleading. Warner Bros. is not reshooting nor rewriting the trilogy. They are making more movies in the universe set in Jackson's interpretation of the series.

Except in this day and age, even more films in Jackson's Universe are still going to be contaminated or viewed through a woke lens. They're still going to be fucking disasters because of it.

In another time I would be excited for more films in the setting.

If you mean leftist,they would live in fire in Afterlife.Unfortunatelly,after shitting on Tolkien legacy first.

No,it is not.Not black elves even - but Al-Pharazon as buffon,and Galadriel as she-hulk.

Well,it is good - but still bad.Becouse now we would see,for example,Goldolin falling becouse of racism of its people to OLM /orcs life matter/ riots.
Or,even worst,being full of lgbt+52 black jewish muslim elves fighting bad white christian orcs lead by Trump.

It looks like they've rolled it back from the backlash, they were talking Remaking the Trilogy a month or so ago but now all the articles are getting edited and memory-holed to show that they just want to make... I guess sequels or something because there's obviously plenty of story left to tell about the slow decay of Gondor after their high point.

Which Tolkien refused to write,becouse it would be pitiful - with mason-like elites worshipping Sauron and mobs of orc-like youngsters together taking Gondor down.

Something like falling of OUR West.

And,you knew? somebody could made this,showing Gondor elites like Soros old dudes and mobs shouting orcs life matter.
Pity,that nobody would do such movie.

So did Warner Bros see the burn out and oversaturation of "content" Disney had with Star Wars and Marvel and decided "hold my beer"?

Even if I wanted to be optimistic and think this was motivated to remove the bad taste of the Rings of Power from everyone's mouth I would think you'd want to wait a few years to distance yourself as much as possible and, hopefully, start on something like an clean slate.
