There are many openlibrary initiatives and it would be great to not have to again re-invent the wheel. Letterboxd saves a lot of time and effort by relying on TMDB as a data source and it is a win-win for both platforms. (Note: that Letterboxd also has custom films that do not exist on TMDB due to TMDBs policy being different, so Hardcover could do the same)
