This latest news is absolutely huge, but is it exactly what we want?
PJ’s trilogy is what introduced me to Tolkien and I’ll forever view him as the "Film Godfather" of Middle-earth. Those movies are masterpieces.
But with The Hobbit and War of the Rohirrim in hindsight, and being 25 years out from the OG success, is this braintrust still the right team for something as momentous as The Silmarillion?
Some of these stories are so high-fantasy that they might not even fit the "historically real" feel of the PJ's original trilogy canon. Do we need a completely new vision, or is Jackson the only one we can trust? Who else would you even want to see take the mantle?

Patrick McKay on the identity of the DARK WIZARD hopefully being a Blue Wizard
"I think it's hard to say anything is 100% certain, but we have no plans or intention for it to be Saruman. We're not thinking of him as Saruman. We know there are five wizards talked about in The Lord of the Rings.
One of them is Saruman, one of them is Gandalf, one of them is Radagast, and then there are two others. Our expectation is that he'll be one of those other two."

@mellon_heads@nerdoftherings1 Awesome, can't wait to check this out!! It'll be so great to see the 3 of you gents on screen together!! Also I have sooo many thoughts on that episode so I NEED this 😂
@mellon_heads@FellowshipFans Great video(s)!! It was nice to focus in on Tom for a bit. Such an important character and I was terrified they were going to mess it up massively. End result, I thought they did pretty well! And better than many other characters on the show!

@mellon_heads Every time we see a new elf I always look at hair length to reassure myself that the creators realised how much they needlessly messed up S1 elf-look and are trying to make up for it now!
