The hype around The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power began to rise last week with the distribution of the busts of certain characters in the form of posters. A first teaser will be released this weekend at halftime Super Bowl LVIbut we won’t have to wait until then to have a first real look at the series ofAmazon Studios. Vanity Fair has just devoted a rich file to him on his official site after having seen the first 3 episodes, with first shots taken on the set by the way.
We learn that Morfydd Clark will play a younger Galadrielcommander of the armies of the North as angry and impetuous as intelligent, who will hunt down the last forces of evil after the defection of Morgoth and the disappearance of his apprentice Sauron. His fight to keep the peace will isolate him on a raft from the second episode and lead him to cross Halbrand (Charlie Vickers), an original hero made for the soap opera, who flees his past. It is in fact said that the scenario, although based on Tolkien’s universe, will take liberties and will notably feature new characters during its 5 seasons. Several stories will intersect and they will feature no less than 22 main charactersdwarf mines of Misty Mountains in the elven kingdom of Lindon to the mighty human island Numenor. The basic plot will obviously be the forging of the rings which gives its subtitle to the series.
Snapshots otherwise show the dwarf princess say (Sophia Nomvete) standing at the entrance to Khazad-dûmthe prince of this underground kingdom Durin IV (Owain Arthur) the original wood elf Round (Ismael Cruz Córdova), her forbidden love that is the healer and single mother Bronwyn (Nazanin Boniadi), or the young Elrond (Robert Aramayo). Series creators Patrick McKay and JD Payne clearly show the color by stating that, although Tolkien’s writings make no mention of any major action by Hobbits before Third Age, there will be their ancestors, the Pievelus. They will be represented here in the form of a secret pastoral society, of which two of their representatives, embodied by Megan Richards and Markella Kavenagh, will meet a mysterious lost man, whose origin could be one of the great secrets to be unlocked. Sir Lenny Henry will be a Pievelu older. The Elven Blacksmith Celebrimbor (Charles Edwards) and the initially simple sailor Isildur (Maxim Baldry) will also be thereas Sauronwhose threat of resurrection will long hang like a shadow over the soap opera.
The producers are also already responding to the controversy over the skin color of Jamaican Sir Lenny Henry, Briton Sophia Nomvete and Puerto Rican Ismael Cruz Córdova: yes, there will be elves, dwarves and Pievelus of color.
“It seemed natural to us that an adaptation of Tolkien’s work reflect what the world really looks like,” says Lindsey Weber, executive producer of the series. “Tolkien is for everyone. His stories are about his fictional races doing their best when they leave the isolation of their own cultures and come together. »
We can’t wait to see more The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power… The release date of the first episode is still scheduled for September 2, 2022, exclusively on Amazon Prime Videowhich you can subscribe to for €49.99 per year.
