The new Lord Of The Rings TV show isn't actually about what we all thought it was going to be about
The budget is already in excess of $250 million, making it the most expensive TV show of all time.
The Lord Of The Rings is not only one of the most popular books of all time, it is also one of the most-loved movie series of all time. So nobody could quite figure out why Amazon Video were being so secretive about the project, considering everyone who has ever read the book or seen the movies already know all too well how it all turns out.
Amazon worked out a deal with Warner Brothers, as well as with the Tolkien estate, to purchase the rights to the series, and before a single actor was hired or a single camera was put in place, the show has already cost a quarter of a billion dollars. There had been long-standing rumours that the show would focus on a much-younger Aragorn, and how he came to be a reclusive Ranger of the North and all-round greatest hero in modern fiction , but some newly revealed information seems to indicate that this won't be the case.
