Articles were annoying so here’s the Wikipedia section.
Lord of the Rings (film series)
The Hunt for Gollum
Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum was announced to be in development on May 9, 2024 with a planned release in 2026. The script is being developed by Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens and set to be directed by and star Andy Serkis.
After the success of the Gollum video game it’s clear the people were clamoring for more of this little freak.
To be fair I’d still rather play that than Hogwarts: Blood Libel TERF edition
I hate that this seems to be the only place I can go to get my fill of JKR getting shit on. Most of my friends loved it growing up and will at most agree that she’s an asshole, but then they lap up any and all of her media for them and their kids.
Most people can’t handle the fact that their treats are afforded to them on the backs of marginalized groups and then separating the art from the artist still shows support for the artist.
It was bad in interesting ways, like watching certain B movies can be.
it was sort of a throwback to the era of shitty movie tie-in games.

Lord of the Rings XXVIII: What’s Up With Those Big Tree Guys Like What Is Their Whole Thing
The First Entwives Club, staring Diane Keaton
I would happily watch that if they’d agree to never make any more gollum media
Not gonna lie, that’s one of the two LoTR stories I would gladly pay money to watch.
Is that the next spinoff?
It’s a spinoff of the Lord of the Rings XXVIII extended cinematic universe. Each of the cast and crew of LotR XXVIII get a film about them.
Oh, my mistake. And then each film could have it own franchise to create the LOTR multiverse cinematic universe.
God damn it they’re going to give Gollum a love interest aren’t they?
They made Shelob into a goth dommy mommy already, I’m not sure they can come up with much else to shit on Tolkien at this point.
This is my first time seeing this garbage. Which way to the mountains of Lammoth? I need to scream.
How did this happen
She DOES look like Stoya.
It’s literally her
There is only one question. Is the cover much like the original or do they go epic?
What exactly is supposed to be the tension in this story? We know how it starts and ends
Gollum uses a time-and-space machine to jump to the modern day. He lands in Oklahoma and he teams up with a hard-livin’ roughneck who’s working 18 hours a day to put food on the table for his strugglin’ family of six. The roughneck is The Rock of course and then they…
andy sarkis was cool in andor but this just sucks
legit cried from his episodes and… now this
Yeah it’s like, it’s fucked up that somehow a star wars episode managed to get me crying but like somehow he did it, and now he’s going to be jumping around in a gollum gimp suit whimpering about the precious or some shit
i’ve been through the system too and those episodes were spot on about how dehumanizing it was. like it triggered me for real but i pushed through and it was so worth it in the end. just wanted to add this. rewatched Andor again recently still hit me in the feels.
i’ll just pretend there’s no new LoTR stuff coming out
I’m a huge fucking Tolkien nerd and generally receptive to new adaptations but I don’t really think this part of the story needs fleshing out even if they have the Gandalf taking out Dol Guldur storyline in there too. Give us Beren and Luthién ffs
I think stuff from the Silmarillion is off limits still? Which explains why all these spinoff are going for random shit.
Dang
I think the stipulation was no First Age, and anything new cannot impact the story of the Lord Of The Rings.
The greatest audiobook series in history: Andy Serkis records Lord of the Rings audiobooks for HarperCollins
I’ve been listening. They are good.
PROFITS WILL BE SQUEEZED UNTIL YOU HATE THE SOURCE MATERIAL
All the cool shit in the Legendarium and they keep going back to the most boring stuff.
STOP MAKING EVERYTHING A CINEMATIC UNIVERSE
NOT EVERYTHING IS A FUCKING COMIC BOOK
IIRC, the Tolkien estate refuses to allow any further mining of the Legendarium for movie/TV adaptations.
The Rings of Power series have already been made, so at this point they might as well let it go and give everyone permission to make whatever they want.
Crazy thing (I think ?) about the ROP show is that they didn’t even let Amazon use all of the source material.
There’s literally a war of power between gods that they could just play like superhero slop
Is gollum gonna fuck or nah
The ring resizes to suit its bearer
I never want to hear the gollum voice again. Please someone make it stop.
I want a minions style movie but about gollums
and jarjars
Why the absolute fuck does anyone think people want to know more about gollum. Honestly just start making shit up with random brand new characters in the same universe and it’ll probably be a better story.
“Tales from the Mos Eisley Cantina” presented like “The Ballad of buster Scruggs” was what I had hoped to see when they announced their shitty cinematic universe
Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire?
Why do people care about this? Have we all forgotten peter jacksons lotr movies were not the first?
They set a high bar and are timeless.
Most people agree they cannot be improved upon, attempts since have proven this. The hobbit was meh. The rings of power was meh.
I don’t know about their timelessness. I found them a bit dated last I watched them. Legolas skateboarding down a staircase on the back of a shield while shooting several arrows at once is perhaps the single most early 2000s thing on screen.
I enjoyed the rings of power, but at least in part because it upset so many dickheads online.
Anyway my question was rhetorical, abolish copyright, let me make a lotr film.
I enjoyed it too. but i dont think it was anywhere near as good as LOTR
There was a really cool fan film some years ago called The Hunt for Gollum that was maybe 30 minutes and still a little over long, they’re going to stretch the shit outta this, like butter scraped over too much bread 🙄
