Warner Bros and New Line Cinema just announced a new Lord of the Rings prequel anime movie they will be making titled The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim. It will take place in the same world as Peter Jackson's movies. Looks like it will go to theaters as well. Interesting route the company is going, especially alongside the upcoming Amazon life-action TV series. Personally, I wish they would go the live-action route, but I guess I'm glad to get something rather than nothing.

Live-action is better, but also much more expensive to bring to the screen. I'll definitely take a few animated stories to add to the library if that's the route they have to go to get them out.
I've been watching a lot of random youtube videos on Tolkien's universe. One thing I would like to see is what was happening up north during the war of the ring. Apparently, there were large battles that happened at the Lonely mountain (featured in the hobbit movies). I'd be interested to see those events play out.
#1 on my wishlist would be the period from the creation of the rings through to the battle that culminated in Isildur cutting the One Ring from Sauron's finger.
Yes live action is expensive, but it's not like they lost money on those. I know it isn't a popular opinion, but I feel like the Star Wars universe really took a hit with all the different mediums it was on. In order to really know what was happening you had the live action movies, the books (only canon ones though), animated series, and video games. Just too much
Animated spin offs are one thing and maybe that's what they're doing here, but to have major plot features across multiple mediums is quite a risk.
I am rereading the Lord of the Rings Trilogy now for the first time in a really long time. Still holds up, but I'll admit I'm on the part where Frodo and Sam are crossing Mordor on foot and man it's not exactly a page turner right now.

I'm sure COVID put a real kink in their plans. I just want to see it done and done well, whenever that may be.
Yes and no. Why I'm disappointed is because they have actually already wrapped filming, so having to wait over a year after the end of production is an awful long wait compared to what is usual.

Still, only a little over a year away. The good news is that they're done shooting, so there should be any further delays.

For the books?
I'd say The Hobbit, the LOTR, then Silmarillion
Strangely enough, I have not gotten into the books that his son finished/edited (Children of Hurin and The Fall of Gondor).
that book is just so damn dry. I made it about halfway. It's still in my kindle but I'll probably never finish it.
Yes, it is. I finished it, but that was back in the day where I had more time and was more driven to complete books that I wasn't enjoying. Very interesting in bits and pieces, but yeah, dry overall.

I don't have great advice on that, having not read them (I started one of them and it wasn't hitting with me, so I started another book. I will go back to it eventually), but this Reddit thread does give some more informed opinions:
I tried to read that book about 5 times and couldn't do it. Once a book becomes a chore and not enjoyable, I have to move on.
