Elijah Wood has expressed his confidence in the upcoming The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum, but his reasoning completely ignores Peter Jackson’s biggest franchise mistake. Wood was the star of Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy, and though he’s not involved in the coming project, his excitement for more Middle-earth films from this creative team is undoubtedly reassuring. No one knows better the care Jackson would typically take with this beloved IP. However, Wood’s words on the subject imply that he has forgotten that Jackson hasn’t always put Lord of the Rings canon first.
