LoTR on Amazon: Welcome to the Second Age

***Earniel*** · 08-01-2019, 10:55 AM

this article on gamesradar has some more information about the agreement.

Peter Jackson is definitely out, but New Zealand iconic landscapes appear to be in. Not a bad choice, LothLórien was built somewhere in the Second Age, IIRC. They might be able to reuse the set.

Interesting to see there's a deadline for production in the contract.

The 2nd Age of Middle Earth is confirmed and this kinda makes me a little bit more hopeful.

And yay that PJ is out!

I marvel at the strict canon-restrictions. Either Shippey is a little too optimistic on how well Amazon is going to play nice or the Tolkien Estate lawyers really tightened down the hatches after PJ's stroll into Middle-earth. Normally creative license isn't that narrowly defined.

Hearing this news prompted me to wander back in here. Feeling a lot older, but not much wiser! Nice to see some familiar names here still.

Always good to see old names re-appear! Hard to believe it's been 20 years since PJ started filming his abomination...
