LORD OF THE RINGS
***
AMAZON SERIES
Three Rings for the Elven-kings under the sky,
Seven for the Dwarf-lords in their halls of stone,
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die,
One for the Dark Lord on his dark throne
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
I salute you, honourable Edain gentlemen. Tidings may have reached your ears that a new LOTR series is in the making, by the busy hands of Amazon Prime. It is reported that Amazon is more than adamant in its will to give life to a colossal masterpiece-series; one that could rival with the likes of
Game of Thrones and other recent fantasy classics. 250 million dollars have already been given out to obtain the rights for the materials we all love and cherish; furthermore, they speak of a total amount of 1 billion dollars that the company is ready to invest to ensure that the final five-season project will be a success. And, if we know for sure that sums of that magnitude do not by themselves guarantee a prosperous future, we nonetheless get to assume and somehow predict that great things have been planned with care.
When
The Hobbit trilogy was first released, almost seven years ago, such magnificent opportunity to immerse oneself in Middle-earth's events once more had rekindled interest and passion around this beautiful, epic, and vast story. Notwithstanding flaws and quality shortcomings, I believe many would share the opinion that Tolkien-inspired works are seldom an uninteresting occasion, especially when the premise lying behind surpasses the wildest positive expectations! The maps they have so far posted look incredibly well-made and so revelatory: a series which might encompass a long arch of wide-ranging sagas, from the rise and downfall of Númenor, to the defeat of the Dark Lord during the Last Alliance wars. Whether we are bound to see the mighty palaces of the Star-island or the diaphanous harbours of Eressëa, this only the coming months shall tell
As for our joyous community, since all these bits seem to bode well, I reckon that opening this thread will absolutely be equally beneficial for us. A place in which every single thought, speculation, or discussion of ours is welcome and greatly appreciated. Our past Hobbit topic was a forge of marvellous ideas and debates. May it be so again, hoping that brighter days will be ahead of us
