Amazon to produce a "prequel" to The Lord of the Rings. Which presumably doesn't mean they'll be recording The Silmarillion, as the Creation would be so tricky for CGI - but more likely something just after The Hobbit. Which is another prequel to Lord of the Rings.
Bilbo: Bit of pipe weed, Gandalf?
Gandalf: Don't mind if I do. Your birthday tomorrow, isn't it?
Bilbo: Yeah. 98. No bigs.
Frodo: Uncle Bilbo - can you show us The Ring of Power again?
Bilbo: No, I've just wrapped it up. Drop of ale?
Frodo: OK.
Sam: Broccoli's got whitefly again, Mr Bilbo.
Bilbo: Blow some weed-smoke on it, Sam?
Sam: Right you are, Mr Bilbo.
Frodo: You heard from Saruman lately, Gandalf?
Gandalf: Yeah. We made up a four at bridge with Elrond and Galadriel.
Frodo: Nice.
Gandal: Yeah, but I really don't get on with the way Galadriel uses a weak 2 opening. Not the Stayman I grew up with.
Bilbo: Anything on the palantir?
Gandalf: Game of Thrones.
Frodo: Can we watch it?
Bilbo: No. You're too young.
Gandalf: Got to be more exciting that this though.
Perhaps we could have a Prequal for the Bible, Starting with Genesis or even Leviticus. Not sure the audience for the latter wouldn't be anything other than Donald Trump supporters :(
