If disney does what disney usually does, LOTR will be dead to me.

Now is about the time I need to make my obligatory recommendation that you check out the [free] fan-made audiobooks by voice actor, Phil Dragash:

I have listened to these at least once per year since 2015 (holy smokes, that's a decade!), and they are still the best audiobooks I have ever listened to. They utilize music and sound effects from the movies, and Phil has an uncanny ability to replicate many of the movie star's voices. I cannot recommend it enough!

Who cares what any of the movies do? The LotR is originally the written work. The books are the substance.

They're already doing it with TV shows, animated films etc. Disney would just do more of the same, I'd imagine...

I can only imagine what Jolkein Rolkein Rolkein Tolkein would make of it all.
