Re: TORN Update on Amazon LOTR

I share your disappointment about the lack of news. I am concerned about how they will develop the storyline too but I am "cautiously" optimistic. My optimism is based solely on the long-form they are choosing. By not being constrained to a series of movies maybe they will stick to the book more clo...

TORN Update on Amazon LOTR

TORN had a little more info on the upcoming Amazon Prime LOTR series this morning: https://www.theonering.net/torwp/2019/07/27/106946-amazon-prime-introduces-their-fellowship-of-creators/ Some I know and recognize others not so much.

Re: TV Adaptation LOTR Scotland

UPDATE: turns out the TORN news was the trailer for Tolkien the biopic coming out in May. Daisy Gold posted a link so no need to repeat it here. Looks interesting. TORN has been covering this since Amazon bought the rights. They are having some kind of special announcement tomorrow. I wonder if this...

Re: Hunting for a new home for the Fellowship

Good to see you V! :-) 8) I actually do not know it either but I did a quick look and found a link: https://www.dreamwidth.org/ In their explanation of who they are I think it is possible to say that this is a site where you can share, with privacy, your artistic creations: “Dreamwidth Studios is a ...

Re: Hunting for a new home for the Fellowship

As always Prim provides a balanced, thoughtful opinion. After reading her comments I felt I had to weigh. I have been pretty inactive but check here daily. I understand the issues of keeping this format. I am not on Facebook...never will be. I took some time to digest my feelings. It’s been very nic...

Re: Another Sad Passing - RIP Christopher Lee

What strikes me now is that I think of him more as an Ent than a “bad” wizard. His size, voice and bearing along with his long life easily made him fit the profile. I think he could easily have been Treebeard’s voice and I mean that in no disparagement of what John Rhys-Davies did. Maybe he has just...
