In part because of the massive pile of money Amazon shelled out to acquire the rights, the retail giant’s forthcoming Lord of the Rings series — which tells an all-new story that’s set within the universe of J. R. R. Tolkien’s fictional world — is one of the most highly anticipated streaming projects on the drawing board anywhere at the moment. It’s being filmed in New Zealand, the same place where director Peter Jackson shot his LOTR and Hobbit movies, which should contribute to the same evocative cinematography, and it’s set during the era Tolkien has described as the Second Age of Middle Earth.
We don’t know too much else about the series at this point, though some recent news about actor choices has trickled out. This week, we got yet another — Joseph Mawle, who played the youngest brother of Ned Stark on Game of Thrones, has also been tapped for a role, believed to be that of Oren, the main villain in the series. And we have yet another leak to enjoy.
