Only if Aragorn is a black man, Gandalf is a wise old woman and Sam and Frodo are gay lovers.

Wouldn't be a bad idea. The originals are a bit too white for me.

Not before at least 15 years. They have to wait for the generation who grew up like me (26 now) to be old enough to have children of my own, so they can tap into my nostalgia and bring my wife's son to see it too.

That said, I honestly doubt they'll ever remake it. It's too iconic to be remade, it would feel like a cheap knock off, no matter what (for example, how the fuck would you do the "You shall not pass" scene when the original is already perfect and remembered even today?).
If anything expect some extended universe bullshit like Fantastic Animals in the next ten years; what i fear the most is a butchering of the Silmarillion, but that's the only available option without resorting to obscure tales (and most normies already don't know what the Silmarillion is) or just straight up inventing shit.

it's buffling how so many fucking fantasy movies came out in the early 2000s and nothing came even close to Lotr in terms of quality. Not counting Harry Potter, the closest thing we got was Narnia and they felt like B series Lotr.

Nothing was made with the care and devotion that LotR was. In so many ways LotR was a throwback to old Hollywood epics. They had two years of pre production and the project and creative control was in the hands of someone who was an expert in the source material. That kind of prep and understanding from a major studio is unheard of now. All those other fantasy movies around the time were hurriedly green-lit off the back of LotR's success. Watching the WETA documentaries back, the scope of the movies was astonishing. We'll probably never see that kind of commitment to physical movie making ever again.

>>81159776
We need new LOTR movies to reflect the new America.

It won't, unlike the Hobbit and LOTR a license was never sold for film, and Tolkien's grandchildren are all extremely protective of their estate and will refuse to sell anything they have control over.

>>81159674
seriously though, this was ALREADY happening in the hobbit. already, geez. there are plenty of other story-driven and adaptation complaints i have, but at least having it on in the background, i feel like i'm experience middle earth at least. but in the desolation of smaug, nevermind the fact that the world of men is obviously some kind of annoying mongolian garb, but there is a freaking MOARI extra in the background. there's also a black woman, but part of me went, 'ohhhh, neato, there's a southron woman who made it all the way north, maybe she was fleeing evil, etc'. at least it put me in middle earth. but honestly - a MOARI tribesman in the background? stupid. just stupid. totally suspends belief, totally takes me out of the film/story/middle earth. stupid. its similar to tim burton when he commented about why there weren't more minorities in school for peculiar children. um, they're not in the source material, and it doesn't make sense to the actual universe they were recreating. that really triggered some snowflakes since burton is there wonderman, but sometimes the truth is just painful if you're a snowflake. all that aside though, i'm mentally prepared for lotrmageddon when that day of wolfkinpolyjuicetranscopter nonsense overflows the canon. who cares, we've got the films that are good already. can't take those away.

Great thread, by the way

I'm watching the series for the first time in a long time and god the cgi has aged badly. a lot of it was pretty cheesy and video game-like when it released, but damn... still a pretty great trilogy though.

They could never make silmarillion because its not accessible to the wider audience.

Lotr was about good vs evil, wtf is children of hurin about other than life is a shit

>>81158075
I rewatched it last week. I think those are actually my favorite movies? Everything was so well executed. So much attention to each scene, character progression, pure loveliness of storytelling and aesthetics. And all three movies are that good, there was nothing amiss. We'll never see another trilogy as good as this one possibly in this century. I just can't see it happening any time soon with the way things are going in Hollywood and with how our society is atm.

Timelessness of LOTR is the best thing about it, also its perfect timing to avoid any SJW nonsense, any sort of bias, period-influence of be restricted in any way. Just pure great moviemaking and storytelling.

They were already doing this with the Hobbit, orcs were no longer green and black, they were white. Their leader was a stark white orc. Tons of all new female characters, and Laketown was a multicultural rainbow.
