I had a friend recommend The Silmarillion, but warned it read a bit like a

textbook. It's definitely not casual reading; hence, I've yet to read it.

Very Lord of the Rings like. Will be interesting to see if they can pull it off.

Anasazi

Yes, of course. I was just hoping for a more exciting trailer.

So it looks like Gandalf dies at the end. Bummer.

Technically not a lot is made up, it's just taken from footnotes and...

Yep, it is pretty much all Tolkien.

The footnotes from LOTR? I read part of the footnotes about ten years ago.

7/28/14 2:26pm

Yea...I dabbled. Couldn't do it. Couldn't even get through The Silmarillion.

Jackson is at his worst when making stuff up.

Anasazi

I always wondered if Jackson was going to add in the Army of the Dead

I like the "Edge of Night" song they played in the trailer.

Yvin

It's like the Rains of Castamere in Game of Thrones....

So Pippin makes an appearance as a singer?

I'm psyched, have loved the fleshing out of the series (know it's not popular)
