The Lord of the Rings fans are divided over the announcement of a new film – TV and film

A recent leak has revealed that there will be a second live-action Lord of the rings The film is on the way, which of course has upset some people.

Empire’s recent article by Ben Travis featured an interview with screenwriter Philippa Boyens, who had previously worked on several of these films Lord of the rings Films. This includes all three original films The Lord of the Rings Trilogy and all three films in The Hobbit’s trilogy.

As Boyens revealed to Empire, the upcoming film The Hunt for Gollum will be a single, standalone film. Many had assumed that it would be a two-part film due to a misunderstanding on the part of Gandalf’s actor Sir Ian McKellen.

However, it appears that McKellen’s mistake was not entirely untrue, as Boyens explained that it likely arose from discussions with the actor about a completely different live-action adaptation Lord of the rings Film that is in the early stages of pre-production.

“This was a real misunderstanding that happened because we started working conceptually on two different live-action films. The first is “The Hunt for Gollum,” the second is yet to be confirmed,” Boyens explained.

Of course, this is a revelation in itself. The interview confirms that an entirely new LOTR film will be released after this The hunt for Gollum, what people are not happy about.

Several comments on DiscussingFilm’s tweet discussing the revelation are extremely negative, like this one from user @SirJoshFord.

“I doubt they are given the same care, time and attention as LOTR…You can tell they had less time and the quality couldn’t be replicated to the same effect for the Hobbit films.”

“Why do they want to exploit this franchise more than necessary…” responded user @mind_talkss. “Peter Jackson’s 3 films were perfect, let’s leave it at that”

Personally I think Boyens, Peter Jackson and Andy Serkis are involved The Hunt for Gollum should mean that the project is handled with care and authenticity.

Many people seem to forget this The Hobbit The trilogy’s production process was extremely difficult, and Jackson was brought in at the last minute to help steer it. The decision to split it into a trilogy was also completely out of Jackson’s hands.

Until it is published, The Hunt for Gollum will have been in production for about three years.

For comparison: The Hobbit The film trilogy was only in production for about 266 days, and Jackson came on board to help salvage the project only five months before filming began. Post-production for the first film in the trilogy ended only briefly two days before its premiere.

So I say let them cook. I’m quietly looking forward to seeing what they can do with it The Hunt for Gollumand beyond.
