Get ready to land in Middle-earth on September 2nd on Amazon Prime Video with The Rings of Power. The series of events risks causing a tidal wave to overshadow House of the Dragon, which has just begun broadcasting on OCS.
Since its launch, The Lord of the Rings has generated a lot of ink, especially due to its budget, which is the most expensive in the history of the series. Each season will cost around $200 million, twice as much as Game of Thrones Season 8.
Scheduled to run for 5 seasons, this JRR Tolkien adaptation has a total cost of $1 billion!
It was necessary to bring to the screen such a rich and abundant world as the British author imagined. And to capture his vision as faithfully as possible, it was necessary to shoot in the only place in the world that could offer fairy-tale scenery worthy of Middle-earth: New Zealand!
Just like Peter Jackson did for The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies, the production team decided to set the cameras in the “Land of the Long White Cloud” (Aotearoa in Maori).
The New Zealand government has given great support to this pharaonic undertaking. Indeed, after the triumph of Jackson’s films, one in five tourists travel to the country to visit the natural scenes of the films. So the economic stake for this Pacific island is significant.
Let us remind you that the events of the series take place about 7000 years before Lord of the Rings. The story will begin in a time of relative peace, following a mix of familiar and new characters as they confront a terrifying resurgence of evil in Middle-earth.
From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the Elven capital of Lyndon, to the picturesque island kingdom of Númenor, to the far reaches of the map, these realms and characters set a legacy that will last long after. they left
