The LOTR and Hobbit movie franchise spin off thread. Share your ideas about new ones here!

[Þiudreiks]

A spin off show for Peej. How about Lost in Mirkwood, its like Swiss Family Robinson and Lost in space but takes place in Mirkwood.

[knightofhonnor]

Hobbit vs. wild staring Pippin.
Watch him show you how to survive in Middle-earth's most dangerous places, include:
Mirkwood
Mordor
Peter Jackson's belief how Middle-earth should be
Moria (with guests Balin's ghost and the Balrog)

Followed by Aragorn's guide to Middle-earth herb
Then Extreme Cooking with Samwise Gamgee

[Þiudreiks]

How about a Grump Old Men Parody with Gandalf taking the Role of Walter Matthau and Saruman in the Role of Jack Lemon.

[Ngugi]

This would be my guess

[Veteraan]

Good work, guys.

But our furry friend from Sweden has bested us all, putting his collage skills to work on something else than the Kong Commandments.

However, he really is in a league of his own:

+ rep

Edit: Looking at that picture, I cannot help but wonder how anyone could think Liv Tyler in her LOTR shape could be in need of an extreme makeover.

[Ngugi]

LOL, then reviewers and critics around the globe would cry blood and hunt me like a mob with torches and pitchforks



EDIT: My god I dispise Extreme Makeover Home edition, the hosts makes me mad and he in the image is faaaar worst

The Jerry Springer Show- Middle Earth addition

On the pilot epsiode Aragorn faces up to his stalker Eowyn, who then attempts to rape him live on air. Also includes an addiction discussion with Gollum, and Tom Bombadil expresses his anger at not being included in anything Peter Jackson related in LOTR.

Alternatively we could have

Made in Gondor- A reality TV show. On this weeks episode, Faramir discovers that Boromir is sleeping with his girlfriend and has a very loud shouting match with him, while Imrahil is told that he has HIV as a Corsair invasions ravages Dol Amroth.

Top Gear-Middle Earth Special. The boys buy 3 clapped out motors, and attempt to follow Frodo's route to Mount Doom. Clarkson's big heavy Mustang falls through the bridge of Khazad-Dum and defeats the Balrog, Hammond's piece of sinks in the Anduin and drowns him, and May's brakes are a bit funny so he flies straight off the edge of the Cracks of Doom and plummets to his death. Clarkson then comes back to life, but because he lost his car he has to drive a Volkswagon Beetle. Guest starring the Stig and Sauron as the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.

Someone has already had an idea along these lines: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vcx6UbMCtfI

How about a WHFB and ME crossover. That would be so, EPIC.

[Macrath]

This would be my guess

Awesome

[SirNat]

Great thread!

Well, I suppose so, but I don't really know what you are posting about.
Please don't forget there are people from a lot of different countries reading and posting here. Abbreviations make it a lot more difficult to understand.
It would be a shame that a good spin off idea wouldn't be recognized as such because of this.

Great thread!

Thank you and of course a big thanks to the people who have contributed to it.

[Lortano]

Ok, this is completely compared to Ngugi's but I think you get the idea.

(Ok, image failed for some reason so have the link, it's alright and gets the point across

Of course, made in Gondor could have a rival show, The Only Way is Mordor...

[Cyclops]

Well the "Middle Earth's Got Talent" suggestiuon got me thinking, what about a Middle Earth cooking show?

Gordon Rammas in Udun's Kitchen:

Each week Gondorian chef Gordon "****" Rammas travels to an exotic location to put a restaurant through its paces. Memorable quotes "give it to us, raw and wriggling!" ...you get the picture.

[Cyclops]

....Top Gear-Middle Earth Special... Guest starring the Stig and Sauron as the Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.

"Looks like a decent lap time...no wait he's lost it through Gamling"

[Þiudreiks]

How about a WHFB and ME crossover. That would be so, EPIC.

Legend:
WHFB: Warhammer Fantasy Battle (Games workshop Warhammer Fantasy Setting)
ME: Middle Earth (The World of J.R.R. Tolkien aka Arda)

Just in case someone needed it.

Thank you, the ME I got but the WHFB part was a bit of a mystery to me.

And to expand on my previous statement, not only do the TWC forums visitors come from a lot of different countries, they also differ in age quite a lot.
Please keep that in mind while posting. Just imagine that your teenage children, or your parents must be able to understand your references.

And now for a new entry by me:

[Þiudreiks]

I was pretty sure most didn't need the ME but I thought I would put it down in-case anyone else coming to the thread needed it.

Seeing how successful Golem was in the Lord of the Rings and got best supporting actor maybe a retelling of the three movies from Golem's Perspective? The Lord of the Rings: Golem's Journey.

[Athalwulf]

I want a Children of Hurin movie or TV series, though they might have to rename it to something like "Sons of Beor" so people would have an easier time pronouncing it.

[Þiudreiks]

Sons of Beor doesn't make sense, wait we are talking about WB and Peej making this movie, so I guess making sense doesn't come into play. You do realize it is Children of Hurin do to the fact that it has to do with the curse on his children and the effect that has on his Son and Daughter. Tuor is not his son, he is Hurin's Nephew and has really no part in Narn Hin Hurin. Also Tolkien traces lineage from the fathers side making them of the line of Hador. The mothers of Tuor and Turin were the ones of the line of Beor. Now that I got that out of my system.

How about Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous of Middle Earth. Yes I'm showing my age with this one... (It was a American TV series from the 80's to early 90's) We could follow the lifestyles of Sauron, Denethor, Thranduil, Elrond and many others.
