    I still cannot believe they think people love Gollum. Why can’t they just make a normal lord of the rings movie?

      Yeah, I don’t get it either.

      There’s plenty of stories to explore in the world of Arda. Why do studios keep coming back to Gollum? Where are these people who are crying out for more and more Gollum?

      Do the Silmarillion you cowards.

        They don’t have the rights to the Silmarillion or they would have already.

          I don’t normally get to say this, but In my opinion gollum was the absolute worst part of the movies. Any scene with him, I simply skip. He just pulls me right out of the movie.

          I have no desire to watch anything that focuses on this character.

            He was actually supposed to be a secret sith lord but the reaction-

            Wait hang on…

      The last video game about Gollum was (understandably) a disaster, seems like they never learn

        Tbf that had less to do with the character of Gollum and more with the studio taking on more than they could handle and producing an absolute mess of a game.

      Because they already did? They did three. And they were so brilliant and are so beloved today that to attempt to remake them any time soon would be the height of folly.

      A Hunt of Gollum movie isn’t exactly the #1 choice for a story set in Tolkien’s Legendarium that I would choose to be adapted. But of the stories that they have the rights to tell, it’s a fairly interesting premise. It’s not really likely to be a Gollum movie anyway. Aragorn is likely to be the protagonist.

      Is Gollum LOTR’s Jar Jar Binks?
