Most likely its just gonna be another LOTR. LOTR was good. But I dont want Tolkien just to be seen as some guy.
He was an amazing writer, not all of his shit should be tossed into a movie. Give the man some respect.
How does taking his books and making them into movies not showing him respect? His family has given their best wishes and if anything, all this does is open up his world to more people, who would not normally be interested in a fantasy novel. The movie\'s only serve as visual aid to the story for those who have read the book and those who haven\'t will find a whole new world.
Take for example, \'Dune\', I have never read the book, but after watching the mini-series and the David Lynch film I will buy the books for sure. Yes, I know the books will be better than the films, but if not for the films, I would of never been interested in the book.
