Amazon Prime’s The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power series isn’t slated to hit the streaming network until September, but the promotional machine is kicking into high gear… and why wouldn’t it, Amazon is spending over $1 Billion on this show and they are already dealing with some backlash from fans online in regards to some character and story leaks. So, today they dropped a huge pile of posters of hands. The hands belong to the holders of all of the rings of power… oddly, I don’t believe that everyone in the posters has rings on…
Synopsis:
“the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth’s history,” bring us “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 reemergence of evil to Middle-earth,” the synopsis continues. “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.”
