There is nudity in the show, but it’s not sexualized.Celebrimbor, an important Elven character who forged rings of power in the Second Age, has been recast.Some will be darker skinned, which lines up with Tolkien’s description of Harfoots in the prologue to The Lord of the Rings “they were browner of skin” and “moved westward early.” We’ll meet some early halflings/hobbits.The Lord of the Rings show is sharing some crew with The Wheel of Time show, Amazon’s other big fantasy series that’s due out by the end of the year.Seems like a waste of money if you ask me, but I guess Amazon has plenty to burn. They’re doing that thing they did on Game of Thrones where they film fake location scenes to throw off the press.Men, Elves and Dwarves have their own production units.There were three lore experts/Tolkien scholars on set. And apparently it’s doing so with the full approval and cooperation of the Tolkien estate, which is more involved with this production than on other adaptations of Tolkien’s work. Since this show is set during the Second Age, thousands of years before The Lord of the Rings story proper, it would make sense that Amazon would want to adapt the relevant parts of those books. One of the biggest takeaways from the report is that Amazon has the licensing rights to parts of The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales, works that deal mainly with the distant past of J.R.R. But be warned: there are potential SPOILERS beyond this point. So without further ado, let’s pull back the curtain.
