Lucas Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 This is the closest I've seen a tv-show legitimately look like a film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
filmlover Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Looks like this will live up to the movies from 20 years ago visually if the first image is any indication. Really hoping we get something truly epic here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus the NZ government spent way too much and now it bit them in the ass (tourism wise) which is equal parts funny and horrible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that it's what finally gets put on the screen that matters, but between kicking Tom Shippey to the curb during pre-production, dumping NZ as a location shoot, your own comments here, plus some other stray things I've been hearing here and there, gotta say I am having some bad vibes about this show. Not even concerns... Just... "bad vibes". Since I'm almost a big a LotR Loonie (as Baumer would put it) as I am a SW Nerd, I hope to hell I'm wrong here.

Yeah it sucks I will still give it a chance but hearing that it was an awful experience to work on (a real “Amazon” production if you will) sours me on the whole thing a bit.

Elessar Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 BREAKING: "Howard Shore returns to Middle Earth." Together with Bear McCreary, Howard Shore is to compose the soundtrack for the "Lord of the Rings" series. Bear McCreary is known for "Godzilla", "God of War", "Eli", "Outlander", etc.#LOTRonPrime - via @FansFellowship - pic.twitter.com/PZm3mERySO — Tolkien News (@Tolkien_News) September 19, 2021 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a Toklien fan since I read the books in the early 80's, I am very skeptical about this..or any project not based closely on Tolkien's writings. One reason the Hobbit was not nearly as good as LOTR was that Jackson added too much of his own crap to it, and Jackson is a lot more talented then the people making this. Yeah, call me a close minded purist,but i have no interest in a routine Sword and Sorcery story set in MIddle Earth.Still just a routine Sword and Sorcery story. And, No I do not think Tolkien's works should be treated like a freaking comic book universe. And if you have not read the book I can't take you seriously as a Middle Earth fan. Yean they have made it look as much as the LOTR films as possible,but in the end it's the writing that counts. Too many people get overly impressed by visuals alone. The kicking of TOm Shippey to the curb was huge red flag to me. I would be more interested in seeing an attmept at stories from the Simarrallion, but that would take a lot of very good writing.and a Talent on the level of the Jackson of LOTR (not the Jackson of the Hobbit) to pull off. Jackson, btw, seems to be happy being a documentary filmmaker, and I admit his upcoming "Get Back" on the album that pretty much caused the Beatles break up (Jackson is a HUGE Beatles fan) looks really interesintg.

Daxtreme Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 is it a marketing-only sequence? Because the CGI isn't so good. Still doesn't really let us see much of anything. The narrator doesn't even have CLOSE to the gravitas in her voice that Cate Blanchett has, like it's not even close. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
