QuoteWarner Bros. Television and the estate of J.R.R. Tolkien are in talks with Amazon Studios to develop a series based on the late author's "The Lord of the Rings" novels. Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos is said by sources with knowledge of the situation to be personally involved in the negotiations, which are still in very early stages. No deal has been set.

The studio and the Tolkien estate have been shopping a series based on the classic fantasy novels and their assortment of hobbits, wizards, and warriors, sparking a competitive situation from which Amazon has emerged as the frontrunner. Representatives for Amazon and Warner Bros. declined to comment.

Why not? I cannot stand Jackson's trilogy except Fellowship which I really like.

Because I love the whole trilogy. This is just a shameless cash grab by WB.

That I would actually watch for laughs. They could expand the bit with the Hobbits tripping out on shrooms into a whole episode.

You love it and I don't even like it :) Matter of taste. Cash grab or not it might be a good series.

It would at least have good production values with Amazon. Just look at The Man in the High Castle.

Not sure remaking the books is the best idea.  The films are still pretty recent in people's minds and comparisons will be inevitable.

Yeah, I thought about Silmarilon when tv series was mentioned. It`s to fresh for this new thing to work imo.

I think they've already established that this won't be an adaptation of the books, but rather a show that will take place before the events of LOTR.

Tom was better left in the book.
