MagicCon 5 | Lesung | Kontrovers: Tolkien in Film/TV | Robert Vogel
The controversy over the adaptation of Tolkien’s works into films and series and the attitude of the fan community.
When the series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power TV was announced by Amazon, an outcry went through the fan community about how the source material would be handled. This has also happened with Peter Jackson’s films. Robert Vogel draws parallels to other areas of fandom (here based on Karl May and Perry Rhodan) and how it was handled there.
