A Meteor Crash Lands on Middle-Earth in Teaser Trailer for THE LORD OF THE RING: THE RINGS OF POWER
Amazon has released a new teaser trailer for the upcoming epic fantasy saga series The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. The teaser below is only fifteen seconds long, but if you’re an Amazon Prime member, you can watch the longer version of the trailer which features characters from the series staring up at the sky watching a meteor streak across it and crash land on Middle-Earth.
The full teaser features the characters Galadriel, Elrond, Sadoc Burrow, and Arondir. We even get to see some Ents! As you will see, everyone is looking a little concerned about this thing falling from the sky.
I’m so excited about this movie, and I hope that it actually turns out to be a great show! One thing is for sure, this is going to be the biggest and most epic TV show ever produced. It also has one hell of a massive budget. It was previously revealed that Amazon had committed to five seasons and that they would spend $1 billion to produce it.
There’s a full trailer coming next week, but this should tide you over until then.
The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power “brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth's history. This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien's pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness. Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.”
