The news that Amazon could be reaching out to Peter Jackson about its Lord of the Rings series would be as unsurprising as it is exciting, even if the fansite The One Ring is a bit shaky in terms of source validation.
After all, if Amazon intentionally wasn’t looking to involve the same man who turned the Lord of the Rings film trilogy into Oscar gold before captivating audiences once again with his The Hobbit trilogy, it would be foolish.
For all intents and purposes, Peter Jackson is almost as important to Lord of the Rings’ pop culture popularity as creator J.R.R. Tolkien, so reaching out about getting him involved in some fashion had to have been a no-brainer priority.
Without concrete details that lay out any specifics of any potential deals between Jackson and Amazon, it’s hard to take the tweet as anything beyond the realm of common sense.
