Amazon Prime has released one more official trailer for its mega-budget series “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” ahead of the show’s premiere next week.
Showrun by Patrick McKay and JD Payne and costing $450 million for its first season, the series unfolds in Middle Earth’s Second Age – thousands of years before the events of “The Lord of the Rings”.
The story begins with the wicked god Morgoth having been defeated and his apprentice, Sauron, has vanished. Galadriel is hunting down the last remnants of their collaborators, who also killed her brother.
From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains to the majestic forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Numenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.
J.A. Bayona (“Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom”) helms the first two episodes of the series, which will release in cinemas on August 31st and arrive on Amazon Prime on September 2nd.
