Traveler's Tales: Lego: Lord of the Rings "Would Work"

Traveler's Tales, the makers of all of the LEGO games said that a Lego: Lord of the Rings "would definitely work."

When Lego Harry Potter: Years 1-4 [http://www.amazon.com/Lego-Star-Wars-Complete-Nintendo-Wii/dp/B000R3BNDI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1279570822&sr=1-1], Loz Doyle wouldn't confirm or deny that such a game was in discussion, but he said it is definitely possible.

"It's [Lord of the Rings] got three films - well, plus one if you add The Hobbit. It's got a lot of cool characters. It could definitely work," he said.

He went on to admit that most big-budget franchises would fit the formula. "There are very few things that wouldn't work, don't you think? There is an age limit, and Lord of the Rings is aimed younger in terms of appropriateness. So in that respect they work. Yeah, it would definitely work."

With Warner Bros. re-acquiring the rights to the films from EA at the end of 2008 and the fact that WB owns Traveller's Tales, a Lego: Lord of the Rings seems like an inevitability at this point.

I would play it. It's LEGO and Lord of the Rings together, two very important parts of my childhood finally combined. Give it now!

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

Yay, yay, yay, and yay. Everything must be Lego-ised!

 

[Blackmagic1515]

Lego plus Lord of the Rings...Give it too me now!

 

[Dr. wonderful]

That's...that's is better then the Idea of harry potter and lego!

Now we need star trek...and my life will be complete.

well, that's a lie.

 

[Slycne]

It could work see -> LEGOlas. Obviously this should be seen as a sign.

 

[TheSpider]

Lego Gandalf would be awesome. It would be better though, if it were to come out around the time of "The Hobbit" movie.

 

[Soviet Heavy]

Lego: Avatar coming soon to a console near you!

 

[plastic_window]

I don't mind a LEGO game every now and again. As long as they're funny and they're based on things I care about. LEGO Star Wars, for example. I didn't get Batman, Harry Potter or the 2nd Indiana Jones game, but I'd definetly pick up LEGO LOTR - to see Gollum's LEGO avatar, if nothing else.

 

[De Ronneman]

As both a lego fan and a LOTR fan, I say please do!

BUT, when I look at the crappy Harry Potter lego, and how much they made me face the fact that legolisation is the new capitalism(Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Harry Potter, even BATMAN(!)), I must say no. Better yet, please don't, for the franchise's sake.

But since money is all that counts, and there's bound to be someone who will buy it, I say: do it.

Hell, it might even be pretty sweet to have a lego Gollum^^

EDIT: I got ninja'ed to Gollum, dang.

Also, I keep seeing lego Gollum with a raw rabbit or fish in his mouth

Oh man, now I'm imagining what a Lego klingon would look like. Unless they already exist... disappears to Google that.

The Lego games are awesome. Lego:LOTR could only continue that tradition.

I am really looking forward to Lego Harry Potter, as the early movies had some comedic moments of their own in anyway it should be excellent.

 

[Fingolfin High-King of the Noldor]

WOOO I have been waiting for years to have Lego LotR. I hadn't even thought of a video game for it!!

 

[Echolocating]

I think Star Wars was the best and most appropriate franchise to Lego-ize. LotR sounds like a boring cash-in. With Star Wars, you had unique characters and vehicles; that's what Lego is all about. In LotR you have some cliche characters (I know Tolkien started it all, but they've been done to death now) and a bunch of Castle Lego pieces that we've already seen before... sounds pretty dull to me.

However, that Star Trek idea sounds like it has promise, but only if it took the players though everything... Original, Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, etc. Two words... Borg Lego. Hello?!

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

I'd get it. Seriously, I'd get this full price, launch day.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

a LEGO Lord of the Ring i could actually see that i sound's like a wonderful idea....Next they can make LEGO Pirates of the Carribean...i can the world ending if that happens

 

[DoctorObviously]

Why don't you make a Lego Gears of War while you're on it... twats.
