I'm only behind this if my namesake is included, and voiced by Ryan Reynolds.

I hear the latest date for this to air is in 2021. As the deal is production has to start within a certain timeframe else the Tolkien estate walks away with all the money.

Amazon is probably busy casting and setting up the set infrastructure and the like.

I wonder if I can file a lawsuit claiming Tolkien gave me the rights to all his characters and Middle Earth™ in a past life. Think that'd tie things up long enough?

You'd have to prove you were reincarnated and that the past life was you and if you couldn't do that, your suit would be dismissed.

In addition, in your previous life you had to have pushed a Balrog off the side of a mountain. It's in the legal code.

But only if you come to court wearing the Hogwarts sorting hat.
