Amazon, Warner Bros in Talks for LOTR Series Adaptation: Variety

yep where is Dave, its been ages.

I'm watching the video Chris just posted.  I put off watching it until lunch because it's an hour long, which got me really excited because I thought there'd be a lot of news.  Turns out there's a one paragraph release from Amazon, which basically gives a nicely evocative but very general description of all the stuff that happened in the Second Age.  They've got 5 seasons, looks like they may be trying to cover it all.

So it takes about 10 minutes maximum to cover that; the rest is him responding to comments and speculating. Largely a nothing burger, but it is worth seeing Amazon's first description of the series.
