But what story would it tell?<P>In any event, series spin-offs from films <B>never</B> work, and they never get the same actors (think Planet of the Apes - the spin-off from the original films)<P>... well, on reflection, that was a pretty rash statement, and I'm sure I'll be proved wrong ...

Erm, I don't think that would be a good idea. The story would have no place to go unless they made a series about the children of the fellowship maybe?

Well Sauce Pan Man, M*A*S*H, one of the most succesfull TV-series' ever, was actually a spin-off from the movie by the same name! See, you're proved wrong - happy now?

I think it would be fun if they made a TV movie of <I>The Silmarillion</I>, but I don't think that a spin-off of LOTR would work. Plus, I highly doubt that any of the actors would do it. <BR>Well, maybe they could get Figwit

Yeah, the special effects and the sets would probably be terrible, maybe they could have had a series before the film, but not after.

Nah, I wouldn't really care to see a LOTR series. Though I wish that P.J. would turn Tolkien's book The Silmarillion into a movie. That would be the greatest.
