🚨 BREAKING 🚨
Peter Jackson reveals that him and his brain trust are in negotiation talks with the Tolkien Estate to license more rights from Tolkien’s works.
"Christopher Tolkien sort of edited and finished other Tolkien books [such as] Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, there's a lot more Tolkien writing, which would actually make great movies that were subsequently edited by Christopher but he absolutely would not let any, the mere idea of filming.
Those rights have never been available but Christopher passed away 2 or 3 years ago now and the younger Tolkien is running the estate now and they're much more open to talking
Combination of Warner’s and us have been talking to some of the younger Tolkien members about the possibility of actually licensing some of the rights to the other books. It would be nice to get away from the appendices and get something a bit more meaty."
What would be the very first adaptation you would like to see if Warner Bros had the full rights to Tolkiens work?
