Jackson wrote a heartfelt tribute in Holm’s honor and described him as “a delightful, generous man… with a lovely twinkle in his eye.” The Lord of the Rings director added it was “a privilege to work with him, and a blessing to know him.”

Several of Holm’s former co-stars also paid him a tribute on social media. Elijah Wood called him “the singular, brilliant and vibrant” person, while Dominic Monaghan described him as “a magical man”, both off and on set.

In addition to playing Bilbo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings films, Holm also starred as Ash in Alien, Vito Cornelius in The Fifth Element, Chef Skinner in Ratatouille. He was nominated for an Oscar and won a BAFTA award for his supporting performance in Chariots of Fire.

Reports say that Warner Bros. and the J.R.R. Tolkien estate considered the idea of a TV show for a long time and have been looking for a partner in the recent time. Previously the Warner Bros. and the J.R.R. Tolkien estate were involved in a lawsuit, but it has been settled since. There are multiple interested parties in making The Lord of the Rings TV show, but Amazon is considered to be the main contender. We still don’t know if the series will remake the Peter Jackson’s trilogy, or potentially focus on some other parts of Tolkien’s work that were not present in the original trilogy.

With the series based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s work, Amazon probably wishes to expand its TV show portfolio. Although multiple Amazon TV shows have received critical acclaim, the company still lacks a massive hit that would draw the audience to their streaming service. This is why Bezos instructed Amazon Studios to move away from niche, naturalistic series such as Mozart in the Jungle and head in direction of “large-scale genre programming”, which has an international appeal.
