amazon has intensified the promotional campaign for ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’. In a few days we will be able to see the first trailer, but now he has released a lot of new images officials so that we can get to know its protagonists, in addition to revealing what will be the big change from Tolkien’s work.
The most important change
Developed by JD Payne and Patrick McKayit is the latter who has made some interesting statements to Vanity Fair about the fact that the series compresses in a short time what in the literary original takes place over thousands of years:
We spoke to the Tolkien Estate. If we were totally faithful, we would have to tell a story where our human characters die every season because you jump 200 years in time and you weren’t going to meet the important characters within the canon until season 4. There may be some fans who that they would like a documentary about Middle Earth, but we are going to tell a story that ties it all together.
We will have to see how the fans react, but what does seem clear is that this important change has the approval of the Tolkien Estate. Another big question is to see how they will react to seeing the new look of some very beloved characters like Galadriel, played here by Morfydd Clark or Elrond, who this time has the face of Robert Aramayo. Just above these lines you have an image of the two together.
In addition, this round of images also offers a look behind the scenes with the Spanish director John Anthony Bayonne, which has been responsible for staging the first two episodes. Next we will review all the images and what exactly you can see in each of them.
Amazon Prime Video plans to release ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ on September 2, 2022.
