We all want the Lord of the Rings series to be as true to Tolkien’s stories as possible and as close to Peter Jackson’s films as possible, but there are legal issues.
The trilogies of The Lord of the rings and of The Hobbit They are very successful films that came to collect more than 5,887 million dollars between all. His designs took us directly to the fascinating Middle-earth created by J. R. R. Tolkien. But now, they are preparing the series that will deal with a previous time, but the places, clothes, weapons and other elements cannot resemble what we saw in the cinema due to legal problems, as could be read in the extensive article of Vanity Fair. Even so, those responsible for the program try to overcome all these drawbacks and offer a show that everyone likes.
The big problem is that the films of The Lord of the rings they are fully licensed, as are the designs used in them. That’s why characters like Galadriel Y Elrond will not be the same as the versions of Peter Jackson.
In creating the series, the goal of the showrunners J. D. Payne Y patrick mckay it was to do something different but familiar. That’s why actors like Morfydd Clark (Galadriel) and Robert Aramayo (Elrond) were chosen for being able to appear to be the young version of the versions of Cate Blanchett Y Hugo Weaving of the movies Peter Jackson. Even benjamin walkerwho plays Gil-galadit looks like Mark Fergusonwho appeared as the elf king in the prologue of the first film The Lord of the rings.
So before you start watching the series you have to be very clear about two things. The first is that this is not exactly the world of the movies of The Lord of the rings. The second is that a lot of creative license has been taken with the writings of Tolkiensince they left little information and have filled in the gaps with invented plots and characters.
Here is the trailer for the series. The Lord of the rings:
