What has happened in the last few days is probably unique in the history of The Lord of the Rings film adaptations. The first comeback of The Lord of the Rings in the cinema is apparently taking place much earlier (for a select audience) than expected. In addition, a new film by Peter Jackson has been announced, which won't be long in coming either. In the middle of this sensational news then Amazon also burst.
The Lord of the Rings: Do the Amazon series and Peter Jackson's films belong together?
The online shipping giant with its own streaming service is taking advantage of the newly ignited hype about The Lord of the Rings and skillfully tackles the first one Trailer for season 2 from The Rings of Power Between. Thematically, both the films and the Amazon series are based on the books by JRR Tolkien.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power However, it takes place in the Second Age of Middle-earth, more than a thousand years before the War of the Ring. The Amazon series Although it has nothing to do with Peter Jackson's film universe, it is closely based on the films. For example, they also filmed in New Zealandto make the look of the landscapes uniform.
Characters like Galadriel or Elrond also occur due to their theoretical immortality as (half) elves and of course Sauron also plays an important role. Philippa Boyens, who is working with Peter Jackson on the new Lord of the Rings films, recently commented on the Amazon series.

The first trailer for the new episodes of The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power has been released and raises questions.
The licenses for cinema films are apparently included Warner (Dune, Harry Potter, Game of Thrones). This probably means that Amazon would not be able to release its own film about the second age in cinemas. However, understand each other Peter Jackson and his team not as “gatekeepers” of Middle-earth and are enthusiastic about the ambitions of the Amazon series. However, has Philippa Boyens still a big surprise up my sleeve.
As she openly and honestly admits, she has The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power on Amazon never seen. Philippa Boyens deliberately avoided watching too much of the series so as not to be influenced. Does the same apply to Peter Jackson? How did you the first season of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power fallen? Feel free to write it to us in the comments.
