Jul 31, 2020·1 replyI'm not particularly a big fan of LotR from a story standpoint. But I'm curious to see how this works - esp in a post-GoT tv landscape. Since GoT theres an expectation for fantasy to be adult/R-rated but LotR doesn't fit that bill. So would be interesting to see what approach they take.

Quite the opposite, because GoT satisfied that carnal Desire so well for so long, it’s cliche again. Amazon would be smart to do this chastely, and with class.

At a bare minimum, yes. But this has to be more then the movies were.

GrenouilleThe Hobbit as a novel was actually a children’s book - both jaunty and lighter in content than The LOTR and The Simarillion. Jackson took that source material and stretched it out, implementing Hollywood tropes (e.g. Legolas, Kate from Lost as the Elf, and the Dwarf love triangle) to milk a cash cow.
This show is based on stronger source material, with a serious budget.
Amazon paid $250m solely for the rights, and it’s expected the first season budget will be $100-150m. For comparison, GOT S1 had a budget of around $60m.
