We have seen different adaptations for Lord of the Rings, one of the most popular brands in the world, for a very long time. Although it immediately comes to mind peter jackson’s trilogy that can’t get enough of oscar nominations and the Subsequent Hobbit disaster, LOTR comes across in all sorts of media. When we say game series, animations, the Lord of the Rings complex exists in every aspect of our lives. Saul Zaentz Co., which owns the rights to the brand, is selling all the rights to the game and film, according to recent reports.
The company has reached an agreement with ACF Investment Bank to make the sale, Variety first reported. J.R.R. Tolkien’s minimum sales price for all of his business’s brand rights is $2 billion. At first glance, $2 billion seems too high for humble people like us, but when it comes to a lofty value like Lord of the Rings, it sounds a little small. Disney, which currently includes two of the market’s biggest giants, Marvel and Star Wars, may want to make an inroa and add Lord of the Rings to its roster, but how satisfying the LOTR jobs that come out of disney’s roof are a big question mark.
The first eight episodes of Amazon’s Lord of the Rings series The Rings of Power, which is currently in preparation, cost exactly $500 million. Amazon, which has budgeted a billion dollars overall for the series, may consider reinsing in the gaming side. If you recall, amazon recently started making a gigantic Lord of the Rings game, but later decided to cancel the project. The only LOTR game currently in preparation is Gollum;
The fact that Lord of the Rings is now on the market has great potential for a large number of companies besides Disney and Amazon. The Warner Brothers, who previously made the films with New Line, could also come into play here. Of course, the more companies that bid, the better things will go for Saul Zaentz. In a world where Star Wars sells for $5 billion, we’ll have to wait and see what lotr is valued at.
