Ser Drewy Posted June 5, 2023 Author Share Posted June 5, 2023 (edited) New actor cast to play 'original form Sauron' in season 2 apparently: Is this trying to give us Annatar (or something like him) since they... didn't before? That seems odd. Edited June 5, 2023 by Ser Drewy Calibandar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amazon should just make an extra episode rather than cut down so much. And that the editing team has so much power over despite what the production team wants doesn't bode well Sounds like they're baby-sitting the producers. And sounds like the exec producers might be so incompetent they deserve it. Edited August 28, 2023 by SpaceChampion The hairy bear 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raja Posted August 28, 2023 Share Posted August 28, 2023 (edited) Eh. Sounds like a whole lot of conjecture and it's very difficult to take a post like that seriously.

AncalagonTheBlack Posted August 29, 2023 Share Posted August 29, 2023 Lord of the Rings’ Soundtrack Voted U.K’s Favorite Film Music https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/music-news/lord-of-the-rings-soundtrack-favorite-film-music-top-100-1235576720/ Quote The score for John Williams' 'Schindler's List' and 'Star Wars' finished second and third, respectively. Quote The list of the top 100 film scores was compiled by popular U.K. radio station Classic FM, as part of their annual Movie Music Hall of Fame. More than 10,000 people voted for this year’s edition and the winner was revealed on Sunday by Jonathan Ross, the former presenter of the BBC’s Film program.

Farerb Posted September 24, 2023 Share Posted September 24, 2023 Quote While Amazon, like other streamers, provides only limited data — and internally, it held information even more closely than usual on the series — sources confirm that The Rings of Power had a 37 percent domestic completion rate (customers who watched the entire series). Overseas, it reached 45 percent. (A 50 percent completion rate would be a solid but not spectacular result, according to insiders). The show has not been a major awards contender, either, overlooked by the major guilds with the exception of one SAG-AFTRA nomination for stunt ensemble.

SpaceChampion Posted December 18, 2023 Share Posted December 18, 2023 (edited) https://variety.com/2023/tv/global/lord-of-the-rings-amazon-tolkien-estate-copyright-lawsuit-1235843726/ Quote Closing the chapter on this saga, a California judge has now handed down a costs order, instructing Polychron to pay $134,637 in attorney’s fees to both Amazon and Tolkien. In making the order, Judge Steven V. Wilson noted the “fantasticality” of the Polychron’s claim for copyright protection given his book is entirely based on characters in “The Lord of the Rings,” calling it “unreasonable” and “frivolous from the beginning.” Edited December 28, 2023 by SpaceChampion Corvinus85, Spockydog, Ser Scot A Ellison and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Myrddin Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 I can't believe that gamble didn't pay off for him! Surely the retainer attorney firms for Amazon and Tolkien estate would just let the little guy win in this. Is /s really needed here? Fine. /s IlyaP and Ser Scot A Ellison 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
