The world of the Lord of the Rings officially arrived on television thanks to power rings like a big budget TV series. Amazon’s ambitious project encompassed much of what Middle-earth has to offer from JRR Tolkien’s lore, which meant many people, places, names and cultures to remember. Many stories are told in Middle-earth, so how did the cast stay focused while working on season one? Members of the casting opened up to Gossipify to share how they made it.
First announced in 2017 from Amazon the Lord of the Rings series received strong output from the streamer with the first two episodes debuting simultaneously. Not all of the main characters were introduced in either of these first two episodes, with Trystan Gravelle as Pharazôn, Maxim Baldry as Isildur, Leon Wadham as Kemen, Cynthia Addai-Robinson as Queen Regent Miriel, Lloyd Owen as Elendil and Ema Horvath. like Eärien who comes later. Gravelle revealed his method for staying focused in the vast world of power ringssaid:
You have to focus on the world you are in, I think. There’s really no need for a sense of macro. You can keep it in your world and I think it benefits your character. Depending on your story, of course. With myself, I think it was all Númenor.
While it is too early to tell if the main stories of power rings they will start to clash before the end of the first season, so far these storylines are quite distant. They all face degrees of the same darkness, except the Harfoots face the mysterious stranger they are far from what Pharazôn and his companions do. It also seems unlikely we’ll see Harfoots embark on epic journeys too early in the series, but then it was unlikely that in the the Lord of the Rings even the trilogy!
Trystan Gravelle isn’t the only member of the power rings actors who chose to focus on their “world” while working on season one, which led to a hilarious encounter when the cameras weren’t rolling. Maxim Baldry, who plays Isildur and who he talked about earlier trying to make his character more recognizable to fans, he shared:
We were mostly focused on our worlds, but we had a knack for going to other people’s sets and seeing their worlds, and it was really special. I once saw a dwarf, [played by] Owain Arthur, eating sushi for lunch. And that’s a very bold thing to see. He must have grabbed his beard, lifted it and swallowed the sushi. Yes, seeing all the worlds was very special. Mais nous n’avons vu complètement le produit fine qu’il ya quelques semaines, et ce fut une expérience émouvante parce que nous étions tous tellement absorbés par nos propres mondes et ensuite voir tout le monde apporter son A-game, c’était grandioso .
I know we won’t see dwarves eating sushi inside The Lord of the Rings: The rings of power (unless the Amazon program offers a blooper like game of Thrones including a stylish coffee mug ), but I’d like to see behind-the-scenes footage of Owain Arthur (who plays Prince Durin IV) maneuvering his prosthetic beard to eat sushi. According to Maxim Baldry, it was “very special” to focus on one’s world and visit other people’s sets. As with all stories … well, it was an “emotional experience” to finally see them reunite.
It’s probably safe to say power rings It will be no less complicated to move forward, with a large number of characters scattered throughout Middle-earth and some more aware of the greater threat than others. Fortunately (though not surprisingly), Amazon has already done so renewed the series for a second season until 2019, so the stories won’t end with the season 1 finale. The cast also explained why this show it might work for casual Tolkien fans despite all the moving parts.
