if in like 2030 they reboot the Tolkien universe. and they begin with 3 Hobbit movies remaking the original Hobbit trilogy. and then they do a trilogy based on Fellowship, a trilogy based on Two Towers, and a trilogy based on RotK. and there was a movie out each year, would you keep up with it and watch the whole thing or just some of it? it would be a 12 movie saga told over 12 years of real time

Only if every character is replaced with a big tiddy anime waifu. Otherwise the dialogue, tone, etc should remain largely faithful to the books.

what if they don't revisit Hobbit but they do 9 movies for Lord of the Rings? the thing is, as amazing as the movies are, they still skipped a LOT of stuff. and Jackson has said he wished he could have 9 movies instead of 3

no. the idea about remaking Lord of the Rings has been around for years. I think Jackson said he wished he could do 9 movies instead of 3 like right after RotK came out. or maybe it was after the hobbit trilogy got made. but I know he has talked about it for a while

I would much rather see trilogies (?) made out of other stories in the Tolkien universe

They can all be Kevin hart in different outfits and makeup.

TV Series ala GoT or Netflix Originals? Maybe.

Full length feature films? Nope.

The only way I'd be on board with a LOTR remake is if they did it in a high budget, television style like GOT.

Maybe do 1-2 seasons per book/volume. The Hobbit included.

Why would they redo the LotR movies? They're already great.

I'd only want to see a reboot if they do something different, as far from the Peter Jackson movies as possible. Change the setting to like a futuristic cyberpunk world or something weird like that.

9 movies would be way too much. a lot of the stuff in the books were kind of dumb and removing it was the good choice (Tom Bombadil wasting 1/2 an hour is absolutely not needed in the movies) and more movies would mean more situations that need to act as a climax for the movie (compare The Battle of Helms deep between the book/movie)

This. I wouldn't call Tom Bombadil "dumb", but even with him there isn't enough material to stretch the story out over 9 fucking movies. Just look at how bad the Hobbit trilogy was.

Fuck no. 3 movies was way too many for the Hobbit & it sucked.

Not to mention a reboot being completely unnecessary.

You guys say this like lotr hasnt been remade/re-adapted at least 3 times over the years. Ive thought about this recently though after watching them again on tv; I think Id be cool with them remaking them again years down the road. The cgi and special effects would be incredible but not sure theyd be able to nail down everything else that made these movies so good

I'd watch it but honestly I'd rather new ground be tread than just adapting something with a perfectly good adaptation.

The novels have existed for way over half a century. There's no reason not to make new film versions of the story.

Why is that the qualifying factor? Should they release a new version of the trilogy every day? The novels are going to be way over half a century old every day.

They would never be as good. LotR trilogy was a masterpiece. The cast and crew did an unbelievable job and it'll never be repeated.

I have hope for the Amazon series though.

Brilliant, by choosing Kevin they won't have to worry about those crazy camera angles to make the hobbits look smaller
