Peter Jackson is producing and Andy Serkis is directing.
Supposedly out in 2025??? That is way too soon. Jackson started producing Fellowship in 1997, and it didn't come out until 2001.
I don't see how this thing doesn't suck. If they use the original actors (rumor is they will), it will be ridiculous if they don't de-age them. But de-aging has its own problems, look at how off Legolas looked in the Hobbit movies. Re-casting the characters would trigger a full-on mutiny by LoTR fans.
Count me out on this money-grab.
