    "Gru's plan" meme.
first panel: "Larry Ellison's son bought CBS and fired Colbert"
second panel: "Colbert's next project is with Warner Bros"
third and fourth panels: "Larry Ellison's son is also buying Warner Bros"

      Possibly the biggest of them.

      So was Peter Jackson, and it worked until it didn’t because he was actually good at making movies.

    The film’s official logline reads, “Fourteen years after the passing of Frodo, Sam, Merry and Pippin set out to retrace the first steps of their adventure. Meanwhile, Sam’s daughter, Elanor, has discovered a long-buried secret and is determined to uncover why the War of the Ring was very nearly lost before it even began.”

    Wait, is this saying 14 years after Frodo dies the other three hobbies go to retrace their first steps of the adventure?

    Stupid English and vague commas.

    Edit: Too damn early, just remembered he set sail for the west shortly after the story which is also called passing.

    The movie will be based on the six chapters of The Fellowship of the Rings that were not included in Jackson’s Fellowship movie.

    That is intriguing. I am really curious how they will pull that off.

    Fourteen years after the passing of Frodo — Sam, Merry and Pippin set out to retrace the first steps of their adventure

    Well it’s obviously more than 14 years IRL but hopefully the original cast could pull it of!

    Apparently covering from the sale of Bag End, through Crickhollow, the Old Forest–meeting Tom Bombadil–to the Barrow Downs.

    I expect this could be an interesting movie, I have missed these parts. They are less directly connected to the story of the ring (except where the Nazgûl appear), but I think it adds to the understanding of the background events occurring at that time in Middle Earth.

    Its a pretty cool concept, I like the Breeland stories. Although I mostly remember them from Lord of the Rings Online rather than the books 😅 Hope it will be good!

    The more I learn about this movie the less I like it. And I didn’t like the idea of some talkshow Hollywood host thinking he knows how to make movies in the first place.

    It literally just sounds like shitty fan fiction made by someone rich enough to turn it into a shitty movie instead of posting it to fan fic forums like a normal person.

    Oh this is a great idea. I haven’t read the books in over 20 years. It isn’t creating new stuff, it’s just adapting stuff that hasn’t been adapted yet.

    I would also like to make a movie. I will ask my dad to help me get it into production.

    I’m … actually a little disappointed? This sounds interesting and I’m looking forward to it, but I was really hoping he’d follow through on The Chronicles of Amber series.
