Warner Bros wants to make Lord of the Rings films. Not remakes, fyi.

[QUOTE="Ruin Explorer, post: 8947154, member: 18"] LotRCU on the way is what this translates to. They could obviously just start making up a whole bunch of stories, much as Shadow of Mordor/Shadow of War did. Btw I will die on the hill of those being actually not-terrible in terms of Tolkienian inspiration and more in line with the morality of the books than the vast majority of Tolkien tie-ins, including virtually all the videogames. Indeed that's what I expect them to do. Honestly it could be fine. Or terrible. Depending entirely on what they do. I'd kind of love to see someone fighting a guerrilla war in the Southlands against whatever Sauron-controlled leadership they have there (a plotline a Shadow of War expansion had I think), for example. Why care about Tolkienologists? I say that as someone at least Tolkienologist-adjacent. There are like, dozens of us, worldwide, and we're not the kind of people who can convince a bunch of people to watch your movie/show, or even convince them not to if it sucks. [/QUOTE]
