We're thinking of doing family LOTR costumes for Halloween this year

Aragorn and Arwen with a baby hobbit

Or Mulder and Scully with a baby alien

Can't decide yet

It depends how much oversight Christopher Tolkien has. He’s relinquished a lot of the main management powers of his fathers estate, but he still has most of the creative power. I’m skeptical of how willing he’ll be to let them do that to his fathers work, which in turn has become his life’s work

Chris Tolkien is 94

After he dies who would the creative power go to?

his son most likely

Bro creative genes are inherited my dude

See like in Crusader Kings 2 the genius trait is pased down so the same applies here. If its percent is 25% for each child so we should be good hopefully.

Jawa that is brilliant

Finally another woke brotha arrives

Christopher Is pretty conservative with his dads work I also hope he has instilled that deep passion for it in his children

ehhh. CT did (could do?) nothing to prevent the mess that was tired-Jackson's Hobbit trilogy

Amazon put up $250M for the rights to it. I wonder how much “creative freedom” they’ve negotiated into that contract

I would guess "Most of it"

I would have permitted hobbit movies to be made after seeing lotr bro

Hindsight is 2020

Production was a disaster and Jackson probably kicks himself every day for it

2001-2003 LoTR films were the very best Hollywood could ever do, true. And we will not soon see their like again.

Nope we won’t. I’m glad we got them. Brilliant adaptations of the books.

I have a class with some freshmen and 9/10 have never hear of LOTR

Its all about Harry Potter

A Hayao Miyazaki "Silmarillion" could be as good. In a different way.

He hates the base tendencies of more popular anime, and always strives for humanity and nature in his work.

I watch all six movies every year around December. Got my gf to endure it with me last month for the first time. I always wondered if there would be a remake, and what it would be like. But seeing how there’s no Star Wars remake, it’s making me think there won’t be a LOTR one

Also, for any LOTR nerds like me, there’s a way to read the whole story in chronological order, which I’m about to do for the first time. Just bought the rest of the books. Check it out if you’d like. I’ll probably post this again in the Lit server

I don't think it could be much improved anyway.

I also watch em all yearly.

Yeah the way books are broken up into Frodo&Sam vs the Rest is a challenge

Thinking about starting my yearly read early

Normally I do it in the fall

Definitely try the chronological read if thAt sounds like something you’d be interested in

I never read the books, my mom told me the timelines are crazy long though, like when they're climbing Mordor, its multiple years in the book
