Amazon has revealed the first teaser for their Lord of the Rings TV series and, while there’s no footage from the series, it does show off the great team they’ve established behind the scenes.
Last week at the Television Critics Association press tour, Amazon revealed the footage below featuring executive producers Lindsey Weber (10 Cloverfield Lane), Bruce Richmond (Game of Thrones), Gene Kelly (Boardwalk Empire), Sharon Tal Yguado; writer and executive producer Gennifer Hutchison (Breaking Bad); writer and executive producer Jason Cahill (The Sopranos); writer and executive producer Justin Doble (Stranger Things); consulting producers Bryan Cogman (Game of Thrones) and Stephany Folsom (Toy Story 4); producer Ron Ames (The Aviator); writer and co-producer Helen Shang (Hannibal); and writing consultant Glenise Mullins.
They also announced costume designer Kate Hawley (Suicide Squad); production designer Rick Heinrichs (Star Wars: The Last Jedi); visual effects supervisor Jason Smith (The Revenant); Tolkien scholar Tom Shippey; and illustrator and concept artist John Howe.
On top of this, Variety is reporting that actress Markella Kavenagh will play a new character in the series called… Tyra.
So, while I’m not the biggest fan of LOTR, this new series certainly has my attention… pack your bags, gang, we’re heading back to Middle Earth.
