Even the trees walked in those fucking movies.
Not sure if want. Is it going to be a planned series, IE set end season/time, or is it going to end up like The Walking Dead?
So for one, Amazon is spending like half a billion to get this show done....and now we know what the first season is gonna be about..............................

"Amazon Studios' forthcoming series brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth's history. This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien's pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness.
"Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of NĂşmenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone."
For those that aren't too well-versed in Tolkien lore, the Amazon series will take place during the Second Age - this is a 3,441-year period that covers a number of major events, including the forging of the One Ring, the first defeat of Sauron, and the origins of the Ringwraiths. That's a lot of history to cover, but I can't wait to see how the series handles it all.

It was previously reported that the Amazon Lord of the Rings TV series was going to cost somewhere around $500 million for multiple seasons. It turns out that figure was incorrect, because a new report reveals that Amazon is set to spend $465 million for one season alone. That means the budget for the highly anticipated series is going to get even bigger in seasons to come. So whatever you do, please don’t alert the dragon Smaug, because that son of a bitch loves gold and he might come down from his mountain when he hears this.
We all knew that the Lord of the Rings TV series headed to Amazon was going to be expensive. Amazon plunked down $250 million for the rights to J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy series, and there was some speculation that the entire series could end up costing somewhere close to a billion dollars. Now, we have a better idea of how much money Amazon is throwing at this thing, courtesy of THR. They report that “Amazon will spend roughly NZ$650 million – $465 million in U.S. dollars – for just the first season of the show.” For reference: this price tag is five times more than the final season of Game of Thrones.
It’s unclear if that $465 million total is factoring in the $250 million spent on the rights, but it certainly doesn’t sound like it. “This is fantastic, it really is … this will be the largest television series ever made,” said Stuart Nash, New Zealand Minister for Economic Development and Tourism. It was previously revealed that Amazon was locked into at least five seasons of the show as well as a spin-off, and this new report confirms that plans are in place to shoot all five seasons in New Zealand.
'Lord Of The Rings' TV Series Budget Is $465 Million For Season One Alone - SlashFilm
The Lord of the Rings TV series budget is going to be $465 million just for season one alone, but we're pretty sure Amazon can afford that.
