After the release of the second Hobbit movie, it has become clear that the people behind the movie franchise can get away with just about any change they make to the original material.
I suspect that they would not want to end their cash cow enterprise with the last Hobbit installment.
This thread is meant for you to use your imagination and come up with possible spin offs that could be made into a new movie, tv series, documentary, musical/theatre production or any other form of mass communication medium.
Both serious entries, e.g. you would like a HBO series being made about the events of the "Last alliance of Elves and Man", as (slightly) humorous ones e.g. a quiz program called "Spot the dwarve woman" are very welcome.
All posts should have at least some reference to LOTR + appendices or the Hobbit. AFAIK the the rights to other Tolkien works are currently "safe"so they are off limits here.
Edit: Since it has become clear that quite a lot of people want to share their "other Tolkien works" spin off ideas, I decided they should be officially declared ON TOPIC.
I will kick off with a few examples:
- Bare hand fishing, a how to video starring Gollum, narrated by Smeagol.
- The battle of Erebor, an epic movie about the big battle between Saurons forces and the army of men and dwarves during march TA 3019.
- Tom Bombadil the musical, starring Brian Blessed wearing a bright blue jacket and yellow boots.
EDIT:
Spoiler Alert, click show to read:
Please share your best (or worse) Lotr spin off ideas here.
