The great thing about the Amazon Rings of Power show is that if it’s good: great, fantastic, maybe that will encourage more thoughtful and high quality adaptations of Tolkien’s work; if it’s bad, I live in the comfortable knowledge that the fandom will tear it apart with their teeth like wild dogs.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Title Sequence was all done practically and not with CGI (via IGN).
“The reason for this is: every time I try this, I get some delightful result that is, in some respects, unexpected. There are magical things that happen in nature — gravity, fluids, lighting — that one couldn’t really design using computer graphics.” — Douglas Trumbull, Special Effect Advisor.
The series will premiere on September 2, 2022, on Prime Video.
