Rings of Power S3/Hunt for Gollum Anticipation and JRR Tolkien Discussion thread

Yup, same here, even when certain people (including earlier in this thread) say his involvement proves that this film is already excessive.

Started my RoP season 2 rewatch today. In the first episode I got through the flashbacks with Sauron, then paused long enough to go to YouTube for a season 1 recap, and then picked up the story right where I left off. :lol:

I just have no faith in Hunt for Gollum. Besides the fact that the story doesn't really deserve its own film I haven't seen any example of Serkis being a good director, and his connection to Angel Studios is very suspect. Also the fact that "deaging" might be used is just ridiculous, just recast if someone is too old, its almost like they think that having old cast members return is one of the only things that might draw people to the film :shifty:
 
What about Angel Studios is suspect? I genuinely don't know since I've never heard of it.
Very Christian nationalist leaning in its content. "The Sound of Freedom", for instance, was pure propaganda.


 
I wonder when TPTB will stop unceasingly milking the teat of Tolkien's genius...only to pour in a bit of vinegar afterwards.
 
I was a put off by their movies, but I had no idea they were that bad until recently. It's disappointing to hear Andy Sirkis is connected to them.
My main hesitation with Hunt for Gollum is just that none of Andy Sirkis's movie so far have gotten a very good reaction. I've pretty much been assuming the only reason he even got the gig was because he played Gollum before.
 
It's disappointing to hear Andy Sirkis is connected to them.

He directed their animated adaptation of Animal Farm that was released last year, but doing a job for them hardly makes him 'connected' to them.

Also, I resent the insinuation that a movie studio started by practicing members of the LDS Church is a 'Christian Nationalist' company.

Let me give another example regarding this company: because the films and shows they produce are entirely aimed at Christians, they are not shown in Islamic countries.
 
From what I can tell with a little internet research, Andy Serkis was shopping Animal Farm around to various studios and Angel Studios was the one that picked it up. :shrug:

So, I guess I won't hold it against him, but I'm still not going to see the movie.

Oh, if that's all it was then that's not so bad.
