The announcement of the surprise film “The Lord of the Rings” came completely out of the blue – TV and film

Lord of the Rings fans finally got what they’ve been waiting for for years: a surprise release on HBO Max.

The Lord of the Rings is still a huge IP, even years after the books and movies were released, with TV shows like The Rings of Power and a new animated film will be released later this year.

Check out the trailer The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim below.

There are also more films in the pipeline, such as a film about Gollum to go along with the terrible game we got last year…

That’s not what we’re talking about today, however, because a cult adaptation of the Lord of the Rings classic, which is very difficult to find these days, will soon be released on HBO Max, 1978 The Lord of the Rings.

This adaptation has a long history, and I imagine some of you know it from some popular internet memes that made fun of the art style. The Adult Swim TV series Smiling friends even paid homage to him in the “Enchanted Forest” episode.

When it was released, it was torn apart by fans who were disappointed that it combined the events of the first two Lord of the Rings books. The Fellowship of the Ring And The two towers.

The third part of the story was never adapted, but over time, fans moved on and the animated film became a cult classic.

If you’ve never seen it and don’t know where to find it, you’re in luck because it’s coming to HBO Max very soon, as the streaming giant recently acquired the rights to broadcast it.

The accession is in 1977 The Hobbitan animated musical special that aired on television and adapted the novel’s story.

If you’re a fan of the intellectual property, they’re worth checking out as they appear to have aged fairly well despite their mileage.
