Posted November 15, 20177 yr Amazon announces Lord of the Rings TV adaptation The streaming service has acquired the rights to JRR Tolkien’s fantasy epic and has committed to a multi-season series with potential spin-offs Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf and the rest of Middle Earth are making the switch to the small screen after Amazon announced it has committed to a multi-series adaptation inspired by JRR Tolkien’s classic fantasy novels. The television adaptation will tell new stories based in the period preceding The Fellowship of the Ring, the novel that provided the basis for the first part of Peter Jackson’s film trilogy. A Lord of the Rings series had been rumoured, but on Monday the streaming service confirmed it had acquired rights to Tolkien’s work and would be pursuing the project with a potential spin-off. “The Lord of the Rings is a cultural phenomenon that has captured the imagination of generations of fans through literature and the big screen,” said Sharon Tal Yguado, Amazon’s new head of scripted programming, who took on the role after the resignation of Roy Price last month amid sexual harassment allegations. “We are honored to be working with the Tolkien Estate and Trust, HarperCollins and New Line on this exciting collaboration for television and are thrilled to be taking The Lord of the Rings fans on a new epic journey in Middle Earth.” Matt Galsor, a representative for the Tolkien estate and trust and the publisher HarperCollins, said: “We are delighted that Amazon, with its longstanding commitment to literature, is the home of the first-ever multi-season television series for The Lord of the Rings. “Sharon and the team at Amazon Studios have exceptional ideas to bring to the screen previously unexplored stories based on JRR Tolkien’s original writings.” According to the Hollywood Reporter, the move comes as Amazon attempts to find a challenger to HBO’s Game of Thrones, and establish a big-name franchise after a run of poorly received scripted programmes. The news comes after Disney announced it was working on a live-action Star Wars TV project led by The Last Jedi director Rian Johnson, which will feature completely new characters in “a corner of the galaxy that Star Wars lore has never before explored”. Jackson’s cinematic adaptations of The Lord of the Rings grossed nearly $6bn worldwide, winning 17 Academy Awards, including Best Picture. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2017/nov/13/lord-of-the-rings-amazon-tv-show-confirmed
November 15, 20177 yr Opet se sprema neko blasfemično smeće. Bilbo u borbi za ravnoprqvnost polova vozi motor. Gandalf je gej. Scene seksa u lorijenu etc
November 15, 20177 yr Valjda je Gandalfova gejština kanonska? On i Aragorn godinama ganjali Goluma, samo njih dvojica i hladne noći erjadorske...
November 15, 20177 yr As it's going to be a TV series I suppose they're planning on even more walking scenes they were forced to omit in the trilogy. Can't wait.
November 16, 20177 yr Author Pretpostavljam da će biti potpuno nova postava. Meni se sviđa kako su odradili Čoveka u visokom zamku (primedbe sam naveo u toj temi). Voleo bih da se neko dohvati da pošteno uradi Dinu, ne one miniserije.
November 16, 20177 yr Спрдња. Колики треба да им буде буџет да би надмашили филмове. 0 dinaražali bože što je neko uopšte došao na tu ideju r&o
November 18, 20177 yr Valjda nisu ludi da rade seriju po glavnoj prici. Mozda bude nesto o sporednim pricama ili Silmarilion. Koja je najskuplja Amazon serija ikada?
November 18, 20177 yr Snimite Hiperion, Zaduzbinu, (opet) Dinu, Severijana, Kapiju... ma bilo sta samo ne lotr.
November 18, 20177 yr Valjda nisu ludi da rade seriju po glavnoj prici. Mozda bude nesto o sporednim pricama ili Silmarilion. Koja je najskuplja Amazon serija ikada? Negde procitah da ce biti prequel LotR radnji.
November 18, 20177 yr Lore Srednje zemlje i ostatka Tolkinovog univerzuma se proteze od nastanka sveta tako da imas materijala za prikvel koliko hoces. Dugo vremena prizeljkujem i pribojavam se obrade Silmariliona u formi serije ili filma, sad ovo sto se snima ce vrlo malo zahvatiti i tog materijala, ali opet bolje ista nego nista. Drzim palceve da bude glediljivo, a ne jos jedan Hobit pravljen za debilnu publiku koja svrsava na over the top akcione scene.

Drzim palceve da bude glediljivo, a ne jos jedan Hobit pravljen za debilnu publiku koja svrsava na over the top akcione scene. Znam sve to, jer sam fanatični obožavalac Tolkinovog dela, još kad sam kao klinac gledao Bakšijev crtać. Napisali su u vesti o novoj seriji da če biti prikvel radnji LoTR, to je po meni radnja Hobita. MOžda je bolje da su napisali kako će ekranizovati neko poglavlje Silmariliona. A da bi se to izvelo, a da ne bude totalni promašaj (pošto je Džekson postavio visoke standarde), potreban im je oooogroman budžet. Bojim se da će biti teški promašaj.
