Just leave it be… Stop trying to capture lightning in a bottle again…. Would love to see him go back to horror/gore/dark comedy. A “Braindead” remake?

Oh man, please be good. I'm feeling the beginnings of some hype.

Edit: Okay so I actually read the article. Doesn't seem like Peter Jackson is actually going to be directing (at least not yet). And the first movie is about Gollum . Hype levels have plummeted. I have faith that they'll try to do their best but man I really hate how they've approached this franchise. More and more I think Christopher Tolkein was right when he talked about negative aspects about the mass commercialization of his father's work.

It's hard not to have nightmares after the Hobbit fiasco...

I’m hoping for a ten movie series focused solely on Gandalf smoking the finest weed in the Southfarthing.

But why? LOTR was legendary. Can it be more than a disapointment?

That’s how I feel about them making Harry pet into sTV series.

It was cat print well and most characters will be hard to replace. I can’t imagine it not completely bombing.
