The director who took us to Middle-earth wanted to enjoy ‘The Lord of the Rings’ as one more and considered forgetting his work in a hypnotherapy.
Though we are about to return to Middle Earth thanks to Amazon Prime Videomore than twenty years have passed since we saw how a ring was forged on the big screen to rule them all, a ring to find them, a ring to attract them all to the cinema and start a trilogy that would mark different generations and revive fantasy as fundamental genre in the mainstream but, for one person, this was not so.
“When we made the ‘Lord of the Rings’ movies, I always felt like I was the only unlucky person who wasn’t going to see them as a first-run movie“, reflects the creator of the trilogy, Peter Jackson, in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter. “When they were shown, I had been immersed in them for five or six years. It was a great loss for me not to be able to see them like everyone else. In fact, I seriously considered going to hypnotherapy to be hypnotized and make me forget about the movies and the work I had done for the last six or seven years so I can sit down and enjoy them. I didn’t take it out, but I talked to Derren Brown [mentalista británico] about it and thought he could do it.
And in the Land of Mordor, where the shadows stretch, we enjoyed it for years as we fought over the best and the worst of that adaptation of JRR Tolkien, not knowing that we still had to go down to the deepest abyss with the trilogy of ‘ The Hobbit’.
At the head of the lists with the best fantasy movies in cinema history, Prime Video’s imminent return to those lands makes us wish with the addition of ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ in the collection with the best fantasy series to escape from reality.
“Collects all the main stories of the Second Age of Middle-earth: the forging of the rings, the rise of the Dark Lord Sauron, the epic legend of Númenor and the Last Alliance of elves and men“, showrunners JD Payne and Patrick McKay explain. “Until now, audiences have only seen the story of the One Ring on screen, but before there was one, there were several… and we are excited to share this exceptional story of them all. “.
After the obvious delays in filming, everything is ready for the premiere of ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power’ on Prime Video on Friday September 2, 2022.
