'LORD OF THE RINGS' SERIES
ROBERT ARAMAYO IS BELDOR
Earlier this winter everyone was shocked when Will Poulter left Amazon's LORD OF THE RINGS TV series which is currently in pre
production, but it did not take them long to replace him. His role of young hero Beldor will now go to Robert Aramayo, who starred in Harley and Davidson and Game of Thrones series. As Deadline reports, Amazon has already ordered the second season of the new epic show, the most expensive project ever seen on the small screens (the are rumours that the whole series will cost more than one billion dollars), but the production will go on a few months hiatus after filming first two episodes of season one so that the writers could map out the story and prepare it for season two as well. The only thing that is known of the plot so far is that it will be set in Middle Earth, exploring new storylines preceding J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Fellowship of the Ring. We have already announced Maxim Baldry, Ema Horvath, Markella Kavenagh (as female lead Tyra), Joseph Mawle (as villain Oren) and Morfydd Clark (as Elven queen Galadriel) in the cast of the series that will have 20 episodes in the first season.
Robert Aramayo will be the male lead apparently |
One billion? How much do they expect to make from it? Will there be 2nd breakfast?
ReplyDeleteThey probably expect everybody will pay the fee that year just for LOTR, Disney did it with Mandalorian, when it finished, millions left the service LOL
DeleteFor that kind of money, it better be damn good!
ReplyDeleteAnd yet they keep casting some really mediocre faces. I'd expect the very cream of British young actors in it and Australian ones. No luck so far.
DeleteIs this set in the LotR world but not following the books? Cuz who the heck is Beldor?
ReplyDeleteIt predates the book as far as I understood, but will have some of the characters who are ancient, like Galadriel. It is set in the times when one ring was created.
DeleteI will probably go out of my way to see this series, but there is one thing I don't like about Amazon shows. They never go on schedule!! I like to watch Supernatural every Thursday at 8. It's something I look forward to. What happened to time slots, even from a streaming service?!
ReplyDeleteBut I though you can stream anything you like at Amazon anytime! No? You can stream it yourself every Thursday evening, no? That is how I watch my series, I download them, give each a weekly timeslot like my private TV station :)
DeleteI can, but I have zero self control. LOL!
DeleteOooh :)
DeleteLooking forward to this!!!
ReplyDeleteWe too!
