Lord of the Rings Remake incoming
Is this it? Will this be the final straw that breaks Hollywood's stranglehold on film, or will normalgays continue to eat shit?
WB is moronic, and also flip flops all the time, this probably won't make it out of development hell.
>probably won't make it out of development hell.
They had three years from when the announcent was made to get something off the ground or they will lose the lease of the movie rights forever. Current owners (Embracer) think WB have squandered them for years so pretty much last chance saloon.
It will be 3rd age, probably directly related to the moves rather than the books. Probably just do something super safe like a young Aragorn story
Where's black frodo when we need him?
Stealing rangz
I'm late and shi
Kinda looks like Wiz Era Michael Jackson
>kevin hart as Frodo
>ludacris as Sam
>Eddie Murphy as Gandolf
>Steve Harvey as King Theoden
And introducing
>Kat William's as the voice of Sauron
Nah they’d definitely keep the bad guys white. It’ll be Mark Ruffalo or something.
Seriously, though. Remaking these movies in a climate of mandatory diversity is such an inherently doomed concept. It was bad enough in the show where they were portraying characters nobody'd seen in live action and it was still blatantly incongruous. Treading on the toes of performances that are ingrained in everyone's mind is just going to be so, so much worse.
Can anybody think of a single major character that can be race swapped without it coming off as ridiculous? Denzel as Aragorn? Juancarlo Esposito as Elrond? Jeffrey Wright as Gimli? Samuel L. Jackson as Saruman? Tell me any of those wouldn't be just constantly, unintentionally hilarious. What a farce this will be
>Can anybody think of a single major character that can be race swapped without it coming off as ridiculous?
Young Jaleel White as Gollum.
We wuz dem lawd of dem rangz n shieeeeet
what is the woke level of WB?
dunno about films but their videogame division is woke as shit, you can thank them for Mortal Kombat losing sexy females
holy shit, I used to love MK. But the new designs are offensively ugly, like seriously shit to look at. Haven't bought since MKX
Make it about the Blue Wizards exploring Harrad and follow the lore. Sit back and earn $$$
how can they follow the lore when there is 0 lore about blue wizards? We dont even know their names
We know their names, Olorin and Palando if i remember right, and we know they went east. That's about it
Olorin is Gandalf's name in one of the elven languages.
Make it about the ARAGORN exploring Harrad and follow the lore. Sit back and earn $$$
>hint at the works (or work) of the Blue Wizard(s) but don't show them
It's over
They could make a great movie trilogy if they avoid Jacksons indulgencies..... but you know they wont.
which director is best suited at the moment to direct this
Denis Villenueve
hell no all his visuals are flat and meaningless
filtered
Del Toro
Ridley Scott
Chris Columbus, unironically.

IT'S NOT A REMAKE, IT'S SPIN OFF MOVIE LIKE THE HOBBITS
Well that's slightly less alarming then but still a waste of potential
Oh ok, so instead of being terrible they’ll be awful instead, thanks
>ANOTHER RINGS OF POWER
>LET'S DOUBLE DOWN ON ALL THE FEATURES THAT MADE IT SHITTY SO THE SHOW BOMBS AND WE GO BANKRUPT
>BRILLIANT!
do these guys want to be poor or waht?
A remake is a bad idea, they’ll just butcher the films. If they added to the lore, made movies about other eras or adventures in LOTR universe, then even if they make them really gay, at least partially the movies might be interesting.
This is the single greatest movie trilogy in the history of cinema. If they frick this up, which I think they will, WB is finished & will go bankrupt once and for all. You don't frick with Tolkien's god-tier magnum opus which redefined the medium forever.
I swear, there will be a biblical hellfire awaiting them if they disrepect this trilogy of trilogies; a special Tartarus that they will NOT walk away from.
>I swear, there will be a biblical hellfire awaiting them if they disrepect this trilogy of trilogies
did you miss the fricking abhorrent tv show last year?
>did you miss the fricking abhorrent tv show last year?
Not canon.
Didn't the hobbit already disrespect it?
They won't do a remake. The movies aged very well and are beloved by everyone. It would be like remaking the original Star Wars trilogy.
>It would be like remaking the original Star Wars trilogy
No it isnt because there is an infinitely better source material. A better adaption and a better series of movies could be made but there is a 95% chance it will be screwed up.
The LOTR trilogy is so ingrained into pop culture that it would be a suicide mission to try to remake it. Even modern day Hollywood isn't greedy enough to attempt it. No credible director would touch it with a 10 ft pole.
I know you're baiting but yes they are. Even women like it.
I agree that Two Towers and Return of the King lean too much into the action side of things but Fellowship is one of the best movies ever made. I will die on that hill.
>No credible director would touch it with a 10 ft pole.
Fortunately Hollywood is in no short supply of wannabe directors that would do it and fully commit to burning down the love of the old movies just on the off chance their shit was a sucess.
We see the shit all day long now from Hollywood and these nobody directors doing Feminist and minority twist remakes
They will 100% make some virtue signaling piece of shit LOTR movie (see Rings of Power), but they won't touch the original trilogy for a long long time. Imagine the millions they would have to spend just to make the original actors not talk shit about a remake.
>I know you're baiting
I absolutely am not baiting.
Shit has gay elves singing and dumb fricking sounding names with fantasy monsters usually only found in kids books. Magic spells and quests, you know like in that loser DnD game all the kids who can't get GFs play.
Hollywood selling your 'nerd culture so cooolll!' hasn't changed that liking high fantasy (very gay in the eyes of normies) is still a fast track to getting bullied at school.
>Even women like it.
Go tell the cashier at your local supermarket all about the line of Elendil or all about the magical elf language of Tengwar. Im sure her pusy will be dripping wet after she finds out it was THE Feanor who invented it
>Belolved by everybody
Even half the LOTR fandom hated the movies when they were released but Jacksongays absolutely love to try and rewrite that piece of history
Nerd culture has been cool for a while now. Normies love LOTR and DnD no matter how much you dislike that. "That loser DnD game" just won GOTY at the normie awards.
I visited reddit just to prove you wrong and immediatly found https://www.reddit.com/r/lotrmemes/comments/192n1nw/damn_right_sister/ on the fricking front page.
And yeah no shit bookgays hated the movies. Bookgays hate every adaption of everything if it doesn't have some autistic detail in it that they obsess over.
I do feel bad that you got bullied for talking about the sundering of the elves to Stacy the other day. Good luck in middle school tomorrow!
You are living in an absolute bubble and have no idea what a normie is. Im sure Deano is trading FIFA 23 for a Dungeon Masters Guide as we speak, kek
>Unironically linking Reddit
lmao, embarrassing
I've played DnD campaigns with turbo normie sports bros and even they loved it.
>muh reddit
Yeah I know but you get my point. LOTR is as mainstream as it gets.
I don't know in what situation you would get shit for liking LOTR.
sweet blog post homosexual. where can i read more of your meandering and juvenile opinion?
>beloved by everyone
They are well liked but this is not even close to being true
Loads of normies think fantasy is super gay, dumb and for losers who can't gets GFs
You're a perfect example for the kind of basement dweller who pretends to have life experience and insight into the minds of “normal people“ while truly embarassing yourself. The LOTR movies are easily amongst the most widely beloved films of all time.
>The movies aged very well and are beloved by everyone.
Nobody likes h*cksons action flicks
>are beloved by everyone
They are ancient movies to normies under the age of 30.
New films can be monetised, new tie-ins, streaming, video games, theme parks etc.
>New films can be monetised, new tie-ins, streaming, video games, theme parks etc.
They don't need to make new movies to do any of that because they already do all that safe for theme parks (as far as I know).
Kys, dumbass.
>remaking the Star Wars trilogy
I guess you didn’t see the Disney movies
I think Jacksons movies are just action movies for adult children and completely miss the beauty of the book. That being said, its probably the best adaption we are going to get at this point. I wont be happy until they adapt the whole thing into animation with golden age disney detail.
You do realize that Tolkien hated Disney, right?
Tolkien never even met Walt, ya dingus
>"new films"
Are they new films like that amazon show or are they really going to do remakes? I guess they'll do both.
New films, spin offs where they create their own stories from footnotes since there are no more complete stories to tell that they have rights to.
So will be pretty the same as the Amazon show since they both have the same rights, just will be a different time period and focussing on different character since they have both made non-compete agreements.
>post says new film in production
>morons all lie it’s a remake for rage bait
But what if it's good this time instead of some weird capeshit fanfiction?
Let's see Dain as king of Erebor and Bard as king of Dale.
>”New”
They already showed what the nu-Shire would look like
Literally what's the point of there being so many black people
Hobbit farm equipment?
That's art from Magic the Gathering, owned by a company right outside of Seattle.
>Chinese gandalf
BLACK Gandalf
I think I'm more offended by the Chinkbits than the Nigbits
>The Tolkien scholar Carol Leibiger writes that Shelob is presented as a disgusting female monster in the story.
>The Anglican priest and scholar of religion Alison Milbank adds that Shelob is undeniably sexual: "Tolkien offers a most convincing Freudian vegana dentata (toothed vegana) in the ancient and disgustingly gustatory spider Shelob." Milbank states that Shelob symbolises "an ancient maternal power that swallows up masculine identity and autonomy", threatening a "castrating hold [which] is precisely what the sexual fetishist fears, and seeks to control".
>The Tolkien scholar Jane Chance mentions "Sam's penetration of her belly with his sword", noting that this may be an appropriate and symbolic way of ending her production of "bastards".
>The scholar of children's literature Zoë Jaques writes that Shelob is the "embodiment of monstrous maternity"; Sam's battle with Shelob could be interpreted as a "masculine rite of passage" where a smaller, weaker male penetrates and escapes the vast female body and her malicious intent.
>The Tolkien scholar Brenda Partridge described the hobbits' protracted struggle with Shelob as rife with sexual symbolism. She writes that Tolkien derived Shelob from multiple myths: Sigurd killing Fafnir the dragon; Theseus killing the Minotaur; Ariadne and the spider; and Milton's Sin in Paradise Lost. The result is to depict the woman as a threat, with implicit overtones of sexuality.
>look up Carol Leibiger
>dangerhair with a nosering
yea I don't think I'm reading any of that
>evil monsters should be stabbed with a sword
>"this represented the masculine fear of femininity and penetration and sex and"
>evil monsters should be stabbed with a sword
Meanwhile in Tolkiens mind:
>haha big spooky pider for my midgets to fight
Well, that's an interpretation..."Monstrous Maternity" also refer to witches, the anti-mother that "eats her children". This is pure psychological theory btw, in the vein of Freud and Jung.
She’s israeli isn’t she?
Why would you share here what some mentally ill homosexuals think? No (you)s for you c**t
That doesn't say remake, it says "new films", which doesn't mean anything. Why misrepresent?
Hunter Schafer as Galadriel.
Kys
Ok but hear me out. Hunter Schafer in male clothes as Sauron.
don't care, not watching
>Writer described the new trilogy as "Boruto meets Jujutsu Kaisen"
it's gonna be trainwreck kino
And what you gonna do about it, Cinemaphile? Huh
That's right, nothing
>La'Ron S. Readus
does he play for the East or the West?
>black
>legendary creature
Why couldn't they just name him Ron
Funny how them getting what they want makes them even angrier. Almost like they still feel self conscious.
this.
it's because they don't actually want this.
they just want to not be Black folk anymore, and they always will be, thats why they're perpetually angry
we wuz the return of the kangz
They should honestly remaster the movies and update the CGI. A lot of the greenscreens and effects are very dated, and obviously meant for lower resolution screens where the difference is not as apparent.
agreed
No. The movies are as they are. "Updates" to movies only wind up being outdated themselves within a few years.
the Gamer approach to cinema
>remaster
This word now exclusively associates with "taking a shit on something" for me.
im glad lord of the rings got made before wokeness infected hollywood and we will always have that. a new lord of the rings is destined to bomb. not only have we already seen it, but they will no doubt add Black folk and women to it
https://www.imdb.com/list/ls074432495/
Crazy how many of my all time favorite movies are on that list.
I think if they made my all time favorite country it would be on that list
How many Black folk in the cast?
Wait, i thought it was some swedes that had the LOTR rights now, why WB?
Yeah Swedes own it but they are allowing WB to try and get some new movies made.
WB don't own jack though, they basically had to beg for one last chance.
Sound like a fricking shitshow..
And amazon have rights only for tv series?
Amazon have TV right but Tolkien Estate are the real owners
WB have movie rights but Embracer are the real owners
Amazon have been trying to bribe Embracer (who are currently in a bad financial position due to overspending) to control what WB can/cannot do and Tolkien Estate will continue to threatened to sue WB at any opportunity because they fricking hate them.
Yes a complete shitshow.
just because their last names end in berg doesn't make them swedish
Just make a Tom Bombadil movie. It would be authentic while to the source material while also not feeling like a retread of Jackson.
You know the one part jackson didnt film right......
Old Tom Bombadil was a merry fellow;
bright blue his jacket was and his boots were yellow!
They will put in some surface level MUH FAITHFUL things and shills will spam them while shitting on the actual films.
You guys excited for a black transgender gandalf?
If they do a remake, what are the chances of the main cast being all white again?
No where is it said this is a remake, except in OP's claim.
>or will normalgays continue to eat shit?
Ordinarily I would say mindless fanboys would line up for first dibs on this slop trough, but I think the abysmal Amazon show has demoralized Tolkien fans so thoroughly that they no longer have hope.
Where can I find the Theatrical cuts of the Lotr for physical? Amazon and a bunch of other places seem just to sell the Extended cuts.
In my personal DVD collection. No I won't sell them to you.
I'll bring over some b***hing Chinese food if you let me watch them with my friend.
>everybody is a mutt now
>no fellowship, all the characters in the book going from aragorn and even gollum will be axed because being male nowdays is bad
>they will introduce a super magical special elf b***h that will yank off Frodo's ring in rivendel and carry it herself all the way to mordor
>she ends up becoming evil and everybody licks her ass
>the end
>leading actress and chimpanzee director who shits this out will go apeshit when their film does not win a single award and accuse Rotk as racist
all in one movie, you know this is how they will do it
Do what? They aren't remaking the trilogy.
they literally had a woman save men in the first movie. its feminist trash.
>she ends up becoming evil and everybody licks her ass
the leftist trilogy that peter israelitekson was already filled with trannies and pedophilia though
Can't they just leave it alone? The carcass of star wars is so thoroughly picked that they are making spinoffs based on bacterial cultures. Thats whats next for lord of the rings i guess.
there is a massive creativy void right now and has been going for years, not noly in movies, but also in games, shows, books, etc
basically every form of entertainment right now is a recycled idea
>trandalf
GIVE ROHAN BACK TO THE DUNLENDINGS
I used to not care as much. I let it go in House of the Dragons. But the whole inserting Blacks into fantasy just don't work for me, at least not how they go about it.
Remove all the israeliteery and anti-White race hatred out of the equation: fiction with black people in it is instantly shitty because blacks can't be depicted as villains. If there's a black character you as the viewer know they're good and it removes any semblance of intrigue.
GOTG3 had a black villain and he was a completely unsympathetic psychopath.
The worst of the GotG movies?
One, what has your opinion of it got to do with anything, and two, no it wasn't.
My opinion counts just as much as yours, douche.
Opinion about what? Did you manage to forget the subject of the reply chain in one reply?
>They won't let blacks be villains ever!
>What about this recent example
>I DIDN'T LIKE THE MOVIE
Let me break it down for you considering you feel this is debate club. Blacks make movies worse because the current batch of them can't act. The movies with fewer blacks are better. The third guardians movie with a black ham actor sucked compared to the previous two. Let me resubmit my thesus statement for you to critique, professor:
Blacks are either flawless heroes or hammy villains.
I hope you approve my doctorate!
>>Let me break it down for you considering you feel this is debate club. Blacks make movies worse because the current batch of them can't act.
That's not what you said.
all the israeliteery and anti-White race hatred out of the equation: fiction with black people in it is instantly shitty because blacks can't be depicted as villains.
Never mind how stupid your claim is, like apparently Lee Pace being a really boring background bad guy is better than the Peacemaker actor being an old school hammy mad scientist.
I like when his face flap started peeling off his face and was flopping around.
Depends on whether you want funny, cool, emotionally engaging, what kind of scene do you want? That covers a wide range. Peter murdering the scientist, Rocket's evolving relationships in his flashbacks, Drax meeting the test tube children, the hallway melee, Peter returning to Earth, the long credits intro, Rocket claiming his full name and species and the Evolutionary getting thrashed, the Counter-Earth's destruction, the Fillion scenes on the organic science station, are all pretty different tones of scenes, yet they're all fresh in my mind having seen the film back last summer. More than I can say for the rest of the recent Marvel films.
You must not have that high of an opinion about it if your metric is the recent Marvel films. Shit, it was better than Marvels? Sounds awesome.
>>You must not have that high of an opinion about it if your metric is the recent Marvel films
I didn't say that. Don't skim posts if you're still going to reply. I haven't seen the Marvels, I probably won't ever see it.
How far back do you want to do?
It was better than Quantumania?
It was better than Wakanda Forever?
It was better than Morbius?
Just because you got used to eating shit doesn't mean it was good.
I didn't say anywhere "it was better than ___ at least". I said having seen it once last summer, it all remains fresh in my mind, and then I implied other recent Marvel films had immediately dropped out of my head, which they did.
You asked for a scene, I named scenes, you ignored them.
It's almost like Marvel movies dropped in quality over time or something
Why are you consistently refusing to comment on anything specific? I'm not being scarce with specifics.
Morbius is an awesome movie, dude.
How was it?
It was forgettable. Gunn seemed to be just going through the motions. It started to bear the weight of the deluge of Marvel content outside the movies.
This post is suspiciously vague and non-specific.
What was your favorite scene of Guardians 3? The one that made it stand out above the other two for you.
Everyone praised Chukwudi for that role, wtf are you talking about?
Except it was ok because he was basically Yakub.
They could have a ton of poo and Black characters, but they'd be the bad people since they sided with Sauron.
orly?
It’s click bait. They were gonna make movies set in middle earth but not THE LOTR story again.
Nothing is sacred
Everything is permitted
normies will eat it up
after this whenever someone mentions LoTR normies will be thinking of this version.
Hollywood isn't the problem, Western Civilization needs a big reset
Females (any race) and black people don't give a shit about Tolkien's works.
Why do they keep doing this?
Because we do. It’s just spite.
good fricking luck remaking 3 masterpieces instead of remaking The Hobbit and not doing a shit job this time.
Why not just adapt Tolkien knockoffs instead?
Or the unfinished works
Wow. Good luck with that.
>We reached a point were contrarians are so addicted to (You)s that they pretend they hated the movies
It's just sad.
