Oh yeah don't get me wrong, as long as they don't fuck with established events I'm not mad about this movie existing. It just doesn't appeal to me at all. The only lotr movies I really want are ones based on the Silmarillion stories, and sadly I suspect we'll have to wait another 20 years(or more, if the copyright considers Tolkiens son the author) for it to enter public domain before that happens.

Yes, but imagine how much better CG and practical effects will be in 20 years! Maybe they build a giant animatronic, fully articulated Ungoliant for the movie!
