I like it when you mix up different filmmaking techniques.
>>221790238How is a page and a half of a story a 3 hour movie.
>>221790260Most of it will probably be clusterfuck CGI set pieces. I just hope they tone down (or better yet, not use) the obnoxious bloom effect from the Hobbit films which gave me a migraine every time.
>>221790238It will bomb.
>>221790260the same way The Hobbit was stretched into a 3 over long movies: pad the hell out of it.
>>221790343>Most of it will probably be clusterfuck CGI set pieces.probably not. there's not really any gigantic battle or anything like that.at most it'll be like the end of fellowship, 50 extras in costume (I'm imagining something like gollum's escape from mirkwood being the climactic thing)
>>221790238This could possibly be as bad as the Gollum videogame. Serkis is an extreme leftist shithead, and given his butchering of Animal Farm, I don't believe single word of the PR fluff they're spouting out at the moment.
>>221790260I remember old memes saying the Silmarillion would be adapted into 70+ movies, seems were heading in that direction >>221790435The Hobbit at least was a story on its own, does this even qualify as a prequel? Who asked for this?
>>221790260>cashgrab attempt that did not need to be 3 hours long>isI am puzzled also
>>221790435With The Hobbit, you at least had 200 pages, and some notes and appendix stuff to stretch it out. "The Hunt for Gollum" part of LOTR is literally a few terse paragraphs of exposition that Gandalf goes over. THAT'S NOT A MOVIE. What the fuck is going on?
