He realised that the film Fellowship of the Ring doesn't adapt chapters 3 to 8 of the original book.
Along with his screenwriting son, they are going to adapt this into a movie to fit in amongst the existing films. Warner Bros and other associated people are all excited and on board.
Tell you what, just watch the announcement I ripped from the other place.

@UKFilmNerd This is very interesting! Thank you for sharing. I don't follow film news very closely, except via you

@kianryan *I think I read or saw somewhere that they couldn't make that character fit into the films. So they gave some of his lines and actions to other characters.
* May be misremembered bollox.

@UKFilmNerd It's a massive book, you're going to make compromises. I watched the trilogy when it was released, I watched the extended editions, I'm pretty much burned out on Jackson's Tolkein.
But I'm also pretty much burned out on Tolkein. There was definately an over-exposure in the 2000s, and I wasn't the biggest fan of his writing style then.
Oddly, I quite enjoyed the early chapters, which appears to stand in opposition to most people's opinions. However, when we get to how many pages that man can write about a tree, he can get in a hole.

@kianryan I read about half the book but got really bored of all the poems and songs.
We've also never got around to watching all of the Hobbit trilogy. I bought them all second hand in 3D because we had the TV at the time. Luckily, they all contain standard 2D copies as well. Should try that again.
