I'll look forward to this with cautious optimism. It's a solid production and director list with apparently limited chance of following the typical pre-investor call PR releases followed by multiple directors and writers until we never hear about it again, a la Star Trek, with the sole purpose of maintaining rights, but so much fear, doubt, and shell-shock from movies today...
Will the same writers and producers do better than "Go home, Sam" or whatever "dramatic reversal" they invent to "improve" Tolkien's word choices?
Is this invented fan fiction a la Rings of Power or is it Tolkien?
Will they continue the decimation of "Hollywood" by inserting a political message/agenda? Will they precede the release with a defensive posture against fans? It's certainly not Jackson's style, but times have changed.
Will contemporary identity politics dictate story and wag the dog to age the movie? Or will story prevail and become ageless?
Will Jackson's steep slide into CGI hell continue on from The Hobbit?
Will there be orange/green color grading?
Will they stretch it into a trilogy?
Go ahead - restore my faith with good story, good writing, and escapism from "what the world looks like today."
