The last days on the network there were rumors that "Lord of the Rings" want to turn into a television series. The day before is the company Amazon confirmed: this is true, the audience will really return to the universe Tolkien (John Ronald Reuel Tolkien).
Amazon reports that the new one "Lord of the Rings" will stretch for several seasons and tell the stories of Middle -earth, which happened before the events "Brotherhood of the Ring" and were not illuminated earlier. They will engage in production Amazon Studios, Tolkien Estate and Trust (legal entity managing property Tolkien), book publishing house Harpercollins And New Line Cinema (belongs Warner Bros. Entertainment and helped with movie trilies "Lord of the Rings" And "Hobbit").
They say, Amazon wants to turn the series about Middle -earth into its version "Games of Thrones". In addition, the transaction includes a potential branch, so you may not get one, but two television shows. As Polygon adds at the disposal Amazon There is the whole history of the fantasy world Tolkien, since the company issued the rights to "Silmarillion".
New "Lord of the Rings" will become part of the Amazon Prime Originals line and exclusive for Amazon Prime Video – a kind of Netflix, but from Amazon. Among other Amazon Prime Originals show – series "Man in a high castle" And the program The Grand Tour.

And as they noticed – they want to do it like in an IP.
That is, to hysteria that https://nonukonlinecasinos.uk/review/madcasino/ Jackson will make a “new” hobit on drafts that does not correspond to this is like normal. And turning the whole story of the Lord into a shut -off clone of the IP is like norms. Dad probably would like.
Here I am interested, the owner of Tolkien Estate and Trust – the son of a professor, Christopher.
Who sucked with boiling water and for years sued Jackson for the rights to adaptation and drafts of his father.
But at the same time, he rpming books from drafts (while we do not know whether these were drafts that did not have time to rewrite in a clean -up, or just a pen test and so on).
And now it smells a grandmother, for some reason, without any problems, I sold the right to adaptation without any problems. Moreover, as it is written in the news in general, he sold rights to everything.
I love the professor’s works, and in general the trilogy of the Lord of the Rings is one of the favorite books, but from the situation as a whole is somehow vile.
Well, how from – very popularity, millions of spectators, high marks, a bunch of dough (not necessarily in this order) IP. As a result – everyone wants to make their IP.
Well, they want their personal IP with dwarfs and whores. with hobits and elven.
So I don’t think they will call Jackson. They do not need a cinema.
And considering that they sold the rights to the Silmarillion, I’m afraid they will all the people there will bring to the Ipeye Conve. It is terrible to imagine how Melkor like Feanor to betray.
A standard example of why copyright should not be inherited. Let the heirs themselves achieve something, especially since the financial condition of them is already departing.
T.e. Tolkien Estate and Trust could not sell the right to the film adaptation of Silmarillion Jackson, because that adjusters are not so shown by the Universe of the Mediterranean and in general we have the principles, we are not like that and all that. But Amazon-has for serialchik to sell rights without problems, we forgot about the principles at once and in general we need money. Pure hypocrisy.
Moreover, if I’m not mistaken, Jackson with Warner Bros. We came to a son, more than once, and asked to give permission for further shooting, after the hobbit trilogy. He led him with his nose, they say, I did not like how you conveyed the meaning in the hobbit, my dad did not want to present everything. And now on you, with giblets, it turns out that the dad sold. Ay-yai-yai. Okay, we believe, but if the director is not Jackson, then let’s go.
I hope that according to stylistics it will still be closer to the films trilogy than to the game of thrones. That books, that films fell in love with me, including for a presentation in the style of a legend, an exalted epic; The game of thrones, of course, has its own virtues, but I would not want to see too much 18+ content in the world of Tolkien.
And only you need to do it according to a good plot (books), without saving on special effects!
Who would have thought!
Now, if they had not begun to flog the gag from 4-5 seasons, there would be a candy in general.
It was time to expand the universe, and not only in video games. All the same, one of the most significant fantasies of the universes is idle, and there, having run into the Silmarillion, so many cool ones can be invented
Well, let’s see what comes of it. In principle and until the third era, a lot of interesting things were happening in Arda. But I am disturbed by the approach, we will make our IP Tolkien always the message was very different.
It is problematic to film it entirely – too much information. According to my estimates, the events of the lord of the rings in it would fit on one page. The only option is to film individual stories, but I doubt that the series in the IP style will be able to convey this with dignity.
