Very happy and excited about this wonderful news 🥰 The best part of it IMO is that Phillipa Boyens and Fran Walsh will be back, too. What would we do without their amazing writing skills? Alfred Hitchcock once said: "To make a great film you need three things - the script, the script and the script."

People really need to do a better job of READING. ITS NOT A LOTR REMAKE AND ITS NOT ONLY ABOUT GOLLUM. The key word in the article is “centered”, NOT “focused” or “following”. Which means its about the HUNT FOR Gollum, not only about Gollum. This opens up a realm of possibilities such as including more stories and events that include Gandalf and Aragorn, Thranduil perhaps etc. Im excited. Also we dont know what the 2nd movie could be about! I personally hope the Angmar War but lets see! Peter Jackson and his team have earned the right for cautious optimism.

I am hyped.

Patiently waiting for The Children of Hurin to be brought to the big screen. One of my favorites stories in all of Tolkien's legendarium.

I don't think the Gollum story alone would make a strong enough story to carry the movie; there's not much of a story there. It would at least have to be combined with more material. Keep in mind that Aragorn said he never had anything out of Gollum's mouth except his teeth marks as he took him north to the elves, so no interesting dialogue is to be found there. A bucket of water poured over the stinky Gollum would be one of the few scenes that could happen. Also remember that Gandalf at first searched with Aragorn for Gollum before be abandoned the search and went to Minas Tirith to read about the One Ring written by Isildur, so there's room for Gandalf in this story. Aragorn also gave up the search and was headed home when he found Gollum's tracks in the mud, and captured him. If they want to make a stronger story the hunt for Gollum should only be a small part of the movie, the bulk of it being the life of Aragorn - his early life in Imladris with the sons of Elrond and learning the ways of the Rangers, learning about his heritage, going to Harad and Rhun, serving in Rohan and Gondor and the friction with a young Denethor, his relationship with Arwen, and if they develop his life as King and death and Arwen dying in Lorien they'd have enough material for 2-3 movies. But most important is to not deviate or leave out what the book says. It's one thing to create original material as Thorongil and his travels around Middle-earth, but messing with the book never works out well.

@L1623VP

True. The hunt for Gollum is too thin on details to build a three-hour film around. That's why I'm concerned they'll fill in those big gaps with events and perhaps even characters that aren't congruent with Tolkein lore.

To stay in the third age, they could have adapted the wars of arnor and angmar. The hunt for golum is mini series at best.

Cannot wait!

Wasn't there a fam film of this story a while ago?

In an age where huge IPs are being destroyed by studios.... I don't know how I feel about this honestly. A big part of me wants to leave LOTR alone due the horrible streak of reviving IPs. My problem with this film as a concept.... we know how it ends. The basic film watchers know that Gollum, Gandalf, the Ring, Sauron, etc. are in the LOTR trilogy. So the stakes are already lowered. I don't know if this is a story worth telling. But again, I trust Peter and Andy. So we'll see...... I'm scared though. How much control will they have, who's idea was it to make a Gollum focused film, how is production going to go, like a unicorn LOTR trilogy, or a rushed Hobbit? So many questions.

I feel well from what you said the same way you do if not more excited then you are. I love that we are get more LOTR Movies/Shows right now.

It would be great addition to the movies of lotr as long as the trio doesn’t do what they did with Hobbit movies which was elongate just for the sake of …more movies . If doing hunt for the ring they can be canonical and be faithful to books then it’ll be worth it for me as a book fan to watch . If they made the movies with as much love and care for the books as the trilogy I would be excited . If they redo another hobbit mess I would have reservations .

Studio Interference was to blame, Peter was overwhelmed by the demands, also bad plot points like Kili x Tauriel for example was one of their ideas, and not his.

When I saw the dynamic trio, the three musketeers, the holy trinity, would be returning to Middle Earth I screamed with excitement. I’m sure anything that Peter, Fran, and Phillipa put their minds to will be outstanding. Especially with Andy Serkis. But I couldn’t help feeling a bit underwhelmed when I saw the “working title” The Hunt for Gollum. It felt like there wasn’t much to tell. We know what happens, how it starts, and how it ends. All we’d be getting is a small time frame of possibly interesting dialogue, cool character appearances, and awesome Middle Earth action. All that alone is amazing, but it’s the area of story that they’re going with that can’t help feeling milked from a story we already know so well, that being the War of the Ring time frame. I feel it would be more appealing for something new within the third age era. War in the North, Young Aragorn, or even the Angmar Wars. I also worry about modern agenda pushing and the manipulation of Tolkiens works in order to pander to a minority of people. I feel that won’t be the case here, but I still worry. Of course I’m all aboard the Peter Jackson train and can’t wait for the movie to come out. I just have questions.

If they can de-age Sam Jackson for all of Captain Marvel, they can do it for Viggo.

I never thought I would see this moment but here we are. Words can't not describe the depth of my despair at this.

DAMN!

I'm super excited for this film and Middle Earth Yay!

Really looking forward to this, i can't wait to get back on the Middle Earth train, my favourite franchise of all time 😊 but I'm also so sad, RIP Bernard Hill x it would have been great to see you as Théoden "One Last Time" ❤

So is Aragorn in this? Doesn’t he hunt Gollum in the books 📚

Aragorn tracked him down and gave him over to Gandalf who interrogated him and then left him with Thranduil's people.

@@mexicutioner5882 The recording of the footage has been 25 years. Viggo does not fit the role anymore, not in that time frame.

Omg wow this is actually lotr exciting. Also wonder if they’ll do Scouring of the Shire?

Thanks!

On a personal level I have such mixed feelings about this. As a kid it was my dream to work with Peter Jackons on LOTR movies. I even landed a 2 week internship at Weta Workshop working on the Hobbit films. But when those films finished, I figured I had missed my chance, and so went in a different direction career-wise. So I'm excited to hear this is happening, but it feels like I'm missing out on my dream yet again.
