I was never all that impressed with the books anyway. I thought the movies were better.

And they took almost as long to watch....longer, if you consider the years between releases.

I just read the article the OP was referring to that they've committed to 5 seasons filmed in NZ.

Yes 2 different things, Amazon was also developing a PC Game/MMO set in the LOTR universe. Not anymore apparently.

What's MMO?

 

[JohnnyTheFox]

Massively Multiplayer Online.

Surely you have heard of World of Warcraft or Everquest.

Heard of the games but not MMO before. I feel so.....sheltered.
