I'm not sure whether to be excited or not for the in-production Lord of the Rings: The Hunt For Gollum. In my opinion, the LOTR movie trilogy is one of the greatest cinematic achievements ever. The Hobbit films, however did not work nearly as well for me. What could have been a great single film was expanded into a bloated trilogy. Hopefully, lessons were learned from that. It will be nice to see Ian McKellan as Gandalf one last time.

In other words, you're saying that the Tolkien films are hobbit forming.
@Anon542: Good one!!! :-)
Seriously, though: I hadn't even heard about this one. They're actually doing what I presume is a prequel? To paraphrase Gomer Pyle: "Well, Gollum! Surprise-surprise-surprise!"
Uh-oh! I just gave myself an uncomfortable mental image. Jim Nabors as Prince Strider.
Intriguing title! Part of the inherent mystery, though, is not whodunit, but who got done in. Because it can be interpreted one of two ways. Was Dormammu murdered in Mordor while trying to usurp Sauron? Or vice-versa?
Another interesting question: did you know that this particular image of Dr. Strange looks a lot like Capt. Nemo from STF #1106 @ April 24 of elven years ago?
P.S.---how about Alien Legion meets the GL Corps.
Don't worry, Cary. Could that really be as bad as Gomer Pyle becoming Captain Marvel?
("Shazam!")
Good point. :-)
You might have your own hexalogy going on here, Ross.
Dr. Strange helped the LSH against the Mordru/Dormammu alliance (@ STF #3546). So, to counter-act whatever unfairly harsh penance had been imposed by the Spectre against the Defenders (@ STF #4997), Dr. Strange called on the LSH a second time (@ STF #5025). Possibly to get Dream Girl and Princess Projectra's help in getting in touch with the giant extra-dimensional Oracle (see JLA v.1/#100).
With the latter going on some kind of soul-saving scavenger hunt alongside Hellboy (@ STF #5118) while the rest of the Marvel Universe keep the Spectre occupied (@ STF #5146). Following which, Dr. Strange is transported back to the Late Third Age on Middle-earth, by Gandalf, for the murder case involving Mordru's ex-partner!
That leaves only one question in need of answering: will STF #5148 be the conclusion of the hexalogy or just a stepping stone to a heptalogy?
Or, failing that, I'd settle for Batman and Professor X vs. Dr. Double-X.
@Anon412: Ross only knows.
Hobbit had a logical break point in the middle so could have been divided into two movies. Making into three was a huge stretch, and I agree it did not work.
The only complaint I had with TH:DOS was the inclusion of a non-Tolkien elf character just to give Fili a romantic interest. In that instance, Peter Jackson was undeniably suffering from a minor case of George Lucas Syndrome (= fixing what isn't broken). So, that being said, my complaint is equally minor as I enjoyed the entire Hobbit trilogy for the most part.
I'm just sitting here trying to say the title three times fast.
From Middle Earth to Outer Space and other dimensions, and they say Doctor's house calls are a thing of the past!
Liberty Biberty Guy: "The title three times fast."
In this case? The far-distant past (tail end of the Third Age)!
