Screen RantinterviewedTolkien’scastand film director to get word why exactly the Tolkien estate refuses to support the new motion-picture show .

However , Karukoski explained that their announcement about disowning the film " was n’t uncongenial , " giving him hope that they might consider watch it at some item in metre . He said that he " offered them a prospect to watch the movie , " and that he " would love to meet them , to show them the film , to hear their thoughts and talk over why certain aesthetic liberty have been lease . " Still , Karukoski admits there was a benefit to their length during cinematography , saying , " 9 out of 10 films are made without the estate for a cause , because even if it ’s the most loveable estate in the world , you take up servicing them and not [ making the moving picture ] for you as an artist .
