I wonder if any of you will choose the same answer?
I’ve already talked about a few books I’m looking forward to this summer, so this week I’ll mention a TV show slated to come out in September that fans have been anticipating for years.
If you can’t see the image attached to this post, I’m talking about The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power.
The official Twitter account for it has been sharing amazing gifs, short videos, photos and other promotional material that hint at what it will be about while also leaving plenty of room for the imagination.
I first read The Lord of the Rings during a period of my life when I was struggling with my mental health. It was like walking around the world with a thick, grey cloud enveloping me that amplified all of the difficult portions of life and did its best to smother the faintest flicker of anything positive.
This is something I’m sharing because I only revisited that series years later when the film version of the Lord of the Rings trilogy were released.
While this TV show isn’t set during the same time period in this universe, I’m very curious to see how my mind reacts to the similar themes of it now that I’m doing better.
Seeing an epic saga unfold on the small screen should also be worthwhile. I have high hopes that this show will be a magical experience.
They’re relying on the Silmarillion for story line. If done right should be something worth watching. Got the book the first day released in U.S. and finished it in one day. Need to revisit as it’s been a long time.
Oh, cool! Thanks for the heads up.
I had forgotton about this. I am really looking forward to this as well.
Cool!
My husband is waiting for The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power too! I’m sure I’ll watch it with him
I hope you both like it. 🙂
I’d heard about this, and will be watching it too.
That’s awesome!
