didn't know where else to put this...
" first look at the series via a single image: it depicts a lone figure in a white cloak on a grassy hillside, looking out toward a grand city to their left. To their right, we can see what very much looks like the Two Trees of Valinor - which were long since destroyed in Bilbo's time - standing as shining, ethereal titans in the far distance."

It could be spectacular- cautious optimism. Amazon isn't stupid and they know about fans of Middle Earth. Its a multimillion dollar risk that pay off huge. Or not.I really, really hope they don't screw this up.
I feel the same way but that first image really does go a long way to boost my optimism and excitement. The architecture is highly reminiscent of Mithlond (Grey Havens) from ROTK and Ost-in-Edhil from FOTR mural in Rivendell and even Gondolin from Alan Lee illustration on Fall of Gondolin book. Kudos to the art design under John Howe.It could be spectacular- cautious optimism. Amazon isn't stupid and they know about fans of Middle Earth. Its a multimillion dollar risk that pay off huge. Or not.
My hope as well!I really, really hope they don't screw this up.
WELL now neither can I!!I can't unsee Director Krennic in that photo.
Amazon has the rights to Silmarillion: Amazon's Lord of the Rings Reportedly Has Rights to The SilmarillionLaurelin and Telperion!!!!
Wow!!! This looks amazing, if nothing else this promises to be a visually stunning series!
I am feeling very hopeful about this project, I wonder how early they are going to go in this story?
I had thought the series would be about the 2nd Age - Sauron, Celebrimbor, Ar-Pharazon, the Fall of Numenor up to the Last Alliance.
But this is WAY WAY before that - is this show going to be the Silmarillion?????????
My only other thought is that its a flashback for one of the main characters..... dare I hope its a flashback to Mairon's seduction by Melkor - the start of the path to him becoming Sauron?
My memory of the rough timeline is sketchy - is Sauron part of Morgoth's service during the time of The Trees?
I feel that he is by the time they are destroyed, did he fall in the Years of the Lamps? before? after?
Like....Disney knew about fans of Star Wars?It could be spectacular- cautious optimism. Amazon isn't stupid and they know about fans of Middle Earth. Its a multimillion dollar risk that pay off huge. Or not.
