Amazon’s original pitch for the television rights to JRR
Synopsis
Epic drama set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s ‘The Hobbit’ and ‘The Lord of the Rings’ follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront a feared resurgence of evil in Middle-earth. ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ cast and more actors who have totally transformed for their roles. Tolkien’s ‘The Hobbit’ and ‘The Lord of the Rings’ The idea behind the series was to make the series a new adaptation of the latter (actually a retelling of Gospodar prstenova: Prstenova družina (2001), Gospodar prstenova: Dvije kule (2002) and Gospodar prstenova: Povratak kralja (2003)), but the Tolkien estate rejected this proposal. Amazon eventually obtained the rights under the condition that the series would be distinct from Peter Jackson’s previous adaptations and that they could not contradict anything Tolkien had previously written.
Since they did not have the rights to ‘The Silmarillion’, Amazon decided to start the series in 2004
Early ideas that were proposed included prequel stories featuring characters such as Aragorn, Gimli and Gandalf, but the producers preferred to focus on important untold events from the novels’ story rather than simple side stories, so they agreed with the studio that the series would take place during the development phase of the Second Age. Tolkien’s ‘Unfinished Tales’ and ‘The History of Middle-earth’ (which explores the First and Second Ages), they scoured The Lord of the Rings novels and appendices for passages and references to the Second Age in which they could set their story. They consulted with the estate and several experts on Tolkien history (including his grandson and novelist Simon Tolkien) about the inclusion of new characters and plot elements. Dubbing credits for several languages erroneously list King Durin III as “Durin II.” The opening title is a musical sequence of matter forming various shapes, based on the “Music of the Ainur.” Creation myth from J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Silmarillion.” Featured in The Critical Drinker: The Rings of Power – War For A Fandom (2022).
This is not Tolkien
This is bad fan fiction masquerading as lore. All the actors are terrible. The writing is even worse. (Who writes like that?). I’m not even thrilled with the CGI, which is way better in GoT.
Elon Musk is right
Nothing in this show hits a nerve like the movies did. Unfortunately the showrunners, writers, actors, directors, etc. all seem to first and foremost struggle to get their modern political ideas across. Stay away and save yourself time. “Tolkien is rolling in his grave,” the Tesla CEO and founder wrote on Twitter.
“So far, almost all the male characters are either cowards, idiots, or both
Only Galadriel is brave, smart, and kind.” See the cast of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” in all of their most iconic roles, from Morfydd Clark in Saint Maud to Benjamin Walker in Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, and more.
