Legendary has agreed to a seven-figure movie deal for the dark fantasy novel Alchemised, which started out as a "Dramione" (Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger) #HarryPotter fan fiction.
Writer SenLiuYu said in a statement: "[I] can't wait to see the world of Paladia come to life." 📕 https://t.co/yz7FgqjE17
House of Lords interrupted by protestors shouting 'Lords out, people in'
Business had to be paused as protesters calling for the abolition of the unelected chamber started chanting and throwing leaflets
@cristinaxt Hi, I really enjoyed your article about galadriels absence from the council of elrond.
Especially the point you make about frodo dispensing with the sword and instead using the feminine phial.
A lovely point. And all the more poignant as he was facing shelob, the 1/2
@PJMcNicholls Thanks very much @PJMcNicholls glad someone appreciates the same kind of things I do! And I hadn't considered that about Shelob and Ungoliant but the symmetry is flawless, as you say! When is Tolkien anything less?

What are folk's thoughts on War of the Rohirrim centering Helm's unnamed daughter - I think this honors one of the most radical characters of the 50s.
Just me? 🙃

@GibranStormcrow @wbpictures @screenrant@WBHomeEnt@StephenKing True. LotR was given the epic treatment, which is different to the horror treatment - in novel form and also on-screen. V different tonally/aesthetically. But the thematic focus can be virtually the same because as you say, Middle-earth's terrifying
@GibranStormcrow @wbpictures @screenrant@WBHomeEnt Horror is on-trend for fantasy but would be lamented by so many Tolkien fans as 'unTolkien.' But it's as good a lens to interpret the dangers of power and immortality through as any. So long as it has a nice tear-jerker ending (a la Babadook)
@CreaturesChrons Appreciate this, thanks. We should open up to adapting drow, not shut down like Honor Among Thieves did. Drow were linked to black people in the past occasionally and complexly. I don't link them. Why tempt cancelation with black-skinned drow in an adaptation? Just purple it
@cristinaxt I enjoyed your ScreenRant article looking at the rumored castings for #HarryPotter.
I wanted to send my casting thread as I hope you'd enjoy it. 🫶🏻
