See, this idea should have been what was distributed to Amazon, and The Rings of Power should have been the next feature film trilogy. They boofed the order of things.
I wouldn't be shocked if they're doing this specifically for Ian McKellen. He has stated repeatedly and strongly that he wanted to play Gandalf one last time, and well, he's earned the right to ask to do so. |

Don't give a single fart, wasn't a huge fan of the originals and care even less about the reeruns
We're in our 50s, 60s and 70s now... how much longer do we have to pretend to care about this rehashed trash? Hollywood is out of good ideas, its starving for ideas and its eating itself now.. they're going to trash every good series from here on out with countless redo's and "alternate universes" I'd rather watch old Gunsmoke reruns, and I will |

Gollum?
Why do I get the feeling they're going to **** this up in the most epic way possible? Why can't we have a backstory movie about Gandalf? |

Oh it’s going to be awful. Jackson can only do so much for a character that no one wants to see. It’s also why they are putting the extended editions back in theaters for a time. It’s their golden goose and they are hoping to milk the franchise for all they can. Greed is going to destroy what Jackson built.

The two most annoying things about the LOTR movies were (a) the stupid walking tree things, and (b) Gollum. No desire to see a stand-alone movie about either.

It wasn't so much the concept of the Ents; it was the execution. You had all the amazing special effects and groundbreaking CGI, and tossed into the middle of it was these goofy walking trees that were straight out of H.R. Pufnstuf.
