After the dumpster fire that was the Hobbit trilogy I don‘t really care. Even if this is his last role. The LotR trilogy will forever be the best piece of fantasy cinema brought to life but something like it will never be accomplished again with all the money and effects in the world.
After the dumpster fire that is The Hobbit Trilogy AND the roaring dumpster fire that is Rings of Power AND the smoldering dumpster fire that is The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim I am done with all things Lord of the Rings.
Also when you look at pretty much everything Peter Jackson made post LOTR it is clear that the trilogy was the perfect storm of excellence that all came together to make what you call the best preace of fantasy cinema to ever come to life.
I was just talking to my kid about this, he hated the hobbit movies.
But I put the lotr extended 4k on and he comes running.
He said “I only can tell it’s an old movie because you’re old”
