But not only would the story have been a much shorter one, it would have ended much differently and in probably more tears. Tolkien and adapted to the big screen by Peter Jackson, is faced with one of the most controversial questions and highly debated movie topics of all time: “So, why didn’t they just fly to Mordor?”At first, this seems like the best option given the distance Frodo and his pals had to travel. At the very least, the action over the last month suggests we'll get some details sooner than later.The Lord of the Rings trilogy, written by J.R.R. Sadly though, we're still lacking in concrete info like when Amazon's show will debut, when it starts filming or who even is in it. So we may learn all about his great-great-great-great-great grand-parents and how they shaped the Middle-earth we're more familiar with. While that might be a disappointment for people wanting to see a teenage Aragorn or more of Gandalf's adventures, Aragorn is a descendent of Númenor, the island Amazon revealed today. If Amazon's series is going to focus on the Second Age, there's a good chance they have rights to Tolkien's works published after his death. Jackson's two Middle-earth trilogies could only pull from The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings and their appendices. Historically, the rights to all the rest of his works have been held closely by the Tolkien estate and were not available for film-makers. So there's plenty of drama to dig into here.Īnother notable tidbit from today's reveal is that it seems likely that Amazon has rights to Tolkien works beyond The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. That battle, when Sauron is defeated and loses the One Ring, marked the end of the Second Age.
If you remember the very beginning of Peter Jackson's Fellowship of the Ring, you'll remember the massive battle of Elves and Men taking on Sauron's hordes in Mordor. That said, there are plenty of events from the Second Age that have a huge impact on The Lord of the Rings. Update your settings here, then reload the page to see it.Īmazon also helpfully tweeted "Welcome to the Second Age," a confirmation that the story will focus on events that took place long before the stories in Tolkien's most well-known novels.
