Det verkar som att Amazons LOTR-serie inte kommer att handla om Aragorn i hans yngre år, utan flytta sig mer mot Silmarillion-territorium och handla om "the second age". https://observer.com/2019/03/upcomin...e-disney-plus/

The Second Age is also known as “The Age of Númenor,” which refers to a mythic lost city of men that serves as Tolkien’s rough equivalent to Atlantis. It also marks the rise and fall of the second Dark Lord, Sauron, who was the primary antagonist in Peter Jackson’s film trilogy. It was during this Second Age that Sauron forged the dark Rings of Power and the races of elves, men and dwarves all united against him for the first time. The Second Age spans more than 3,400 years.
Vad finns det för historier att berätta där? Kommer de skriva egna historier eller kommer det vara baserat på boken?
Vet inte vad den handlar om. Hade varit kul att känna igen lite karaktärer iallafall.
En kort flashback från slutet av the second age ser man i LOTR när de snackar om "a last alliance of elves and men". Minns inte exakt hur detaljerat det skrivs om allt i Silmarillion, men vissa historier har ju mer kött på benen med karaktärer och konversationer (dock aldrig i samma detalj som "vanliga" böcker) medan vissa är mer övergripande. Jag kan tänka mig att de får fylla ut ganska mycket med eget påhitt inom ramen för vad man redan vet händer.
Kort överblick:
Citat:
The Second Age was the Age of Númenor, the great island kingdom that was created for the descendants of the Edain in the first years of the Age, and as the years passed, their power grew until it surpassed that of any nation of Men, before or since. They sailed east, exploring Middle-earth and founding great cities there. Eventually, their power and pride became so great that they challenged the Valar themselves, and were destroyed.
Most other Men in Middle-earth lived in simple tribal societies or were under the domination of Sauron. The men who served Sauron revered him as a god and feared him greatly. In the beginning of the Second Age, the Dúnedain attempted to help the Men of Middle-earth, but eventually desired to dominate them.
The Downfall of Númenor was not the end of the Second Age; a remnant of the Númenóreans led by Elendil escaped its wreck and founded kingdoms in Middle-earth: Arnor in the north and Gondor in the south. Along with Gil-galad, they formed a mighty alliance, the Last Alliance of Elves and Men, and marched on Sauron, who had grown great again, assailing the Dark Tower of Barad-dûr. With the first overthrow of Sauron by the Alliance, the Second Age came to its end.

På tal om Sagan om ringen, såg den här för ett tag sedan
Är ju rätt mycket folk som jobbar med GoT och det vore väl passande om folk därifrån bara kunde gå rakt över till sagan om ringen? Kan tänka mig att det är ungefär samma typ av projekt i sagan om ringen gällande smink och masker.
