Re: Lord of the Rings (tv series)
We're also living in a golden age of "Hey can we turn that movie into a TV series" with things like 12 Monkeys, Damian, Fargo, From Dusk til Dawn, Lethal Weapon etc. They're apparently doing it with Watchmen now too. I'm surprised that it's taken them this long to try and turn it into an HBO style series, on the heels of GoT. That said, the price tag attached to the rights alone is insane.
