[Amazon] on Monday announced it is bringing J.R.R. Tolkien's fantasy epic to television, with a multiple season commitment.
The television series will take place before the 2001 feature film "The Fellowship of the Ring," which kicked off the trilogy directed by Peter Jackson.
I never did see the Hobbit movies, were those any good?

oh FUCK no
So they're not basing it off the Silmarillion, but it's set before LOTR, so I take that to mean it takes place some time in between The Hobbit and LOTR takes place? Maybe they'll tackle some stuff from the Appendices, such as the lineages of the kings of Arnor. There's a lot of material they could explore tbh, maybe the rise and fall of Númenor. Although the story of Númenor takes place in Akallabêth in the Silmarillion, it also figures heavily in the Appendix A of LotR, so they could pull from that. Or they could go into more detail on the forging of the rings of power, the rise of the kingdom of Angmar and its battles with the Dúnedain. Eärnur fighting the Witch-King of Angmar and Glorfindel's prophecy could be epic. The history of the Dwarves and their ring of power could be interesting. I've felt for some while that the Battle of Azanulbizar wasn't done justice in Peter Jackson's adaptation of The Hobbit.
But with my luck, they'll probably make up a bunch of gritty shit to make it more GoT-like and introduce characters like Sexy Shelob. Plus, I'd have to subscribe to Prime, I can't fap to this!

To be fair, maybe this will be a better interpretation of LOTR than Jackson's. I do think LOTR is better for tv format than film.

Poor Weis and Hickman. They're never going to cash in on their novels.
I just want to see a competent Dragonlance movie or Death Gate movie before I die.

Why not the Silmarillion (and unfinished tales). That's like, prime material for a TV show.
I hope it has lots of elf sex.

If it's gonna keep true to the source material: Keep dreaming. They were dying off.
Now I’m expecting a gritty Game of Thrones knockoff. The best I can hope for now is some full frontal elf nudity.

Roughly the same as Steven Tyler.
