An Unexpected Podcast: Talkin' Tolkien

Is The Hunt for Gollum Just a Cash Grab? New Lord of the Rings Movie Controversy Explained

01 Jun 2025

Description

Is The Hunt for Gollum a bold new chapter in Middle-earth… or just a cash grab by Warner Bros.? In this video, we explore the controversy surrounding the upcoming Lord of the Rings movie directed by Andy Serkis and produced by Peter Jackson’s original creative team. With concerns about fan-film takedowns, a possible two-part release, and stretching limited Tolkien material, fans are asking: is this story necessary—or is the studio chasing profit? We break down both sides of the debate, analyze the source material, and discuss what this film could mean for the future of Tolkien adaptations.PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/c/uptalkintolkienConcerning Hobbits is NOW OUT!
