That is one hell of a lineup, and now we finally know who have been working in that security-heavy writers’ room with all the windows taped up. As a huge fan of Peter Jackson’s original trilogy and someone who absolutely hated his Hobbit trilogy, seeing this many smart people behind the scenes puts me a bit more at ease about this upcoming series. Also, the involvement of John Howe, the concept artist/illustrator who was so influential in helping to translate Tolkien’s world for Jackson’s original trilogy, thrills me. (Howe is all over the behind-the-scenes documentaries and featurettes for that trilogy, and I’d encourage everyone to seek out some of his evocative work.)
