Still, it’s possible and could actually be quite exciting if done well. The trick is that’s really a collection of stories and fables and legends that would be extremely difficult to translate to the big screen.
Second, to tap into some other Tolkien story such as The Silmarillion. Legolas will be a woman, the Hobbits will be Harfoots and so forth.
The basic story remains the same, but with better special effects and a more diverse cast to appease modern audiences (or, rather, modern media critics).
First, to remake the movies to suit modern times. when it comes to making new Lord of the Rings movies: The way I see it, there are essentially three options for Warner Bros. Years and years ago I wrote a piece for The Atlantic wondering when this obsession with adapting fantasy into movies and TV would wear off-and, of course, since then it’s just gotten more and more popularized and mainstreamed. As much as I want to be excited for more Lord Of The Rings I can’t help but think that mostly it’s all just a pale shadow compared to the books I fell in love with as a child.
