You can't call what Amazon Prime released even a teaser trailer. It is a teaser that reveals the name of the show, which is The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power. This reveal trailer has the lines that Kate Blanchett said as Galadriel in The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring , but this is a new voice. I guess it means that the show will give us a new Galadriel which I am not thrilled about. This reveal shows us that the show will focus on the second age and the formation of the rings of power. Even though the show brought in a J. R. R. Tolkien expert, they are not allowed to fully use his texts, so this is going to be a problem. I hope the show will manage to overcome this hurdle.
I have to say that even though we don't see much, the CGI looks amazing. I guess with the insane budget that this show has, it will all look amazing. I don't know if it will be any good, but I hope so. It will be hard to live up to the original three Lord of the Rings movies.
The reveal also gives us a release date, September 2, 2022, which is not that far away. Something to look forward to. Amazon Prime is really investing in fantasy content. I want a proper trailer now. I am mildly excited even though we know nothing about this show.
Are you excited for this show?
