I’ll definitely watch it. I’ve been a giant fan of Middle Earth and Lord of the Rings since my childhood.
But what I really want is an adaptation of the Silmarillion. I don’t even care if it’s a crappy one, I just want to see the first age come to life in film or TV. I think the last time I saw anything (beyond flashback snippets) was a Silmarillion mod for Sid Meier’s Civilization 2 back in the 90s - and that inspired me into scripting for the first time.
I’m so much a fan of The Silmarillion that I’ve read the multiple versions Tolkien wrote that were published in the 12 volume series The History of Middle Earth - which is more a history of the creation of Middle Earth in the form of collections of earlier versions and drafts. Much of it differs substantially from the Silmarillion, which is mainly based on JRR Tolkien’s incomplete last version, but includes some of the older stuff to fill in the blanks, edited together by the late Christopher Tolkien, the last of the Inklings.
