Hopefully Peter Jackson is the lead guy on this. The hobbit was garbage, but that's due mostly to the expectation of 9 hours of dramatic cinema for a 200 page book. His work on LOTR was amazing. I was reminded of this recently when I watched Theodens speech at Pelennor Fields.
The problem with the Hobbit, and the problem with any future Tolkien-based adaptation is that 21st century audiences demand constant dopamine release through graphic violence and sexuality. Tolkien really doesn't deliver that much violence, and ALMOST NO sexuality in his books. Aside from the amazing lore and world design, I feel that Tolkien's universe is not a good fit for mass consumption unless it is (again) irredeemably altered. What is it likely for them to focus on? The truly great stuff in the Silmarillion will be glossed over. The Awakening at Lake Cuivenen is just not paced correctly. It would be a short scene at most. Beren and Luthien I could see, plenty of action there. Children of Hurin is also a pretty good candidate for a tragic adaptation. They'll have to tackle the setting, which is confusing to people who haven't autistically studied the history of Arda from its conception thru the wars of Beleriand to Middle Earth etc. My guess is that they'll fill in non-canon lore gaps. Istari are popular. Perhaps they'll put Aragorn and the Blue Wizards together in a fake news adventure. By the way, the Blue Wziards are Krishna and Buddha. Early Aragorn tales are appealing because he's a handsome human. The problem they'll face is that he also massacred black people which is not very SJ. THey also have a great potential for Dwarf Wars following their departure from Erebor and the attempted reclamation of Moria. They touched on this in the Hobbit. I honestly doubt they'll be able to capture the majesty of Valinor and the events that took place there without relying too heavily on CGI, which will ruin the experience. If I had to pick, I'd like to see the events leading up the the Fall of Gondolin and the Fall itself. I'd like to see Fingolfin lead his host across the Helcaraxe. I'd like to see Fingolfin fight Morgoth. The Caves of Nargothrond are also a good choice. The problem with any of this is that they have to have the right mix of human and non-human. otherwise it doesn't appeal to the audience enough. | ||
