Amazon’s long-awaited “반지의 제왕” 프리퀄 시리즈에는 이름이 있습니다 — 특정 Dark Lord의 출현을 확인하는 약간 더 자세한 로그 라인.
“반지의 제왕: 힘의 반지” will center on the 20 rings mentioned, but not deeply explored, 에 실물 “반지의 제왕” 삼부작. 시리즈, set thousands of years before the events of the trilogy, will see heroes and villains new and familiar deal with the aftermath of the rings’ creation and the source of evil behind them — Sauron, according to its showrunners J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay.
Payne and McKay said in a statement that the series “unites all the major stories of Middle-Earth’s second age: the forging of the rings, the rise of the Dark Lord Sauron, the epic tale of Númenor and the Last Alliance of Elves and Men,” stories familiar to Tolkienites.
Galadriel, a powerful elf played in the films by Cate Blanchett, introduces the 20 rings in a monologue in the “Fellowship of the Ring,” gifted to Elven kings, Dwarf lords, mortal men and, 물론이야, Sauron, who himself forged the corrosively powerful One Ring, which Frodo, Gandalf and the Fellowship set out to destroy in the original film trilogy.
Tolkien’s verses on the ring are included again in the video announcing the Prime Video series’ 표제, which Payne and McKay said they imagined “could live on the spine of a book next to J.R.R. Tolkien’s other classics.” Fan feedback on the title was mixed.
아마존 first announced its “반지의 제왕” series in 2017. 당 Hollywood Reporter, its first season cost an estimated $ 465 million to create, making it perhaps the most expensive show of all time.
