    This is gonna suffer the same issue that Star Wars has. They have an entire world and myths to explore and they just stick with a core group to focus on.

      I’m assuming this must be issue of what works pf Tolkien do they have rights for.

        The Amazon series is fan fiction. This is part of the background story Tolkien wrote.

        I’m not really interested in either, as they are both soulless capitalist cash grabs, but I think this has the possibility of being a decent (although completely unnecessary) film .
