Fans of Jackson’s films and his well-created world so far could only watch reruns of the Lord of the Rings series (or The Hobbit , which takes place a bit earlier). I must admit that the world created by the director perfectly suited the tastes of the general public. Die-hard admirers, and there are innumerable numbers of them, know every wrinkle on Gandalf’s forehead and know where Galadriel’s blond hair goes. We know that the production was partially filmed in New Zealand, this may help to achieve the intended effect of the new production.
This prequel is set to take place thousands of years earlier, during the Second Age (Jackson’s films were set at the end of the Third Age), but of course references to the cult series are unavoidable. Morfydd Clark, a Welsh actress known for her smaller productions, said she was “stunned” by the panache. No wonder, since Amazon paid $ 250 million for the rights to the title, and the entire series is to cost up to a billion!
Certainly, Amazon Studios doesn’t need to save on effects or decorations, let alone the army of people it employs for its film endeavors. For a little-known actress, this is a great opportunity to appear for a wide audience and get to know the inside out how big studios work, although she modestly states that
In some ways, I feel the happiest and most fulfilled doing smaller projects like [the upcoming horror] Saint Maud.
Looking at her photos, you can see that she looks similar to young Cate Blanchett. With proper make-up, it will probably look like “Galadriel”.
I feel like I had an influence on something big by doing The Lord of the Rings
Clark said.
The question is whether he will bear the role and whether the fans will accept it.
