It's hard not to have nightmares after the Hobbit fiasco...

I’m hoping for a ten movie series focused solely on Gandalf smoking the finest weed in the Southfarthing.

Finally, the spinoff Radagast deserves.

Radagastric Boogaloo

Staring Ana Gasteyer

Heck yeah, and you could still call it lord of the rings if his thing is to blow smoke rings. Maybe even just once per episode, so as not to be weird.

Are they going to get Jeremy Clarkson to play Gandalf??? I'd actually watch that.

lmao what the hell that sounds so stupid

No I ain't gonna work on Gandalf's farm no more.

[-] saltnotsugar@lemm.ee 4 points 1 year ago

Yes quite. Any time an adventure has the potential to come up, Gandalf hits that pipe and forgets to show up to the meeting.

Andy Serkis is still good, so that's a bit of hope...

They needed a 3 year pre production for these as well. Should have gone for 2028 release.

Peter Jackson took over for Guillermo Del Toro, who unexpectedly bowed out right as production started. I wouldn’t blame Peter Jackson for those movies.

As bad as The Hobbit is as a trilogy, there was some good stuff there and I'm glad we got those movies.

I agree with you. There’s a really good 2 hour movie somewhere in that trilogy but it just needs a really good editor to cut out of all the bloat.
