Amazon has released an official teaser trailer for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. Additionally, a slew of first look images were released a couple days ago via Vanity Fair. Let’s take a look.
I mean, I guess it looks interesting. I’m no Lord of the Rings fan (I quit after Fellowship of the Ring), but I’ve seen all of the Hobbit films (is this the ultimate troll comment?). I doubt I’ll check this series out unless I hear some good things about it from all of you.
Here are all the images that Vanity Fair released a few days ago:
Plot Synopsis:
Amazon Studios’ forthcoming series brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth’s history. This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness.
Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power begins streaming September 2, 2022 on Prime Video.
