The new series the Lord of the rings: the ring of power, created by Amazon, will be broadcast on September 2, 2022. Recently, Patrick McKay, the producer and screenwriter of the series, accepted an interview with Empire magazine, in which he said: we do not want to compete with the film versions of the Lord of the rings and the game of power.
Patrick McKay said in the interview: "if you get to know the Lord of the rings in the cinema, you will realize how correct Peter Jackson's understanding of this work is. We are just fans from afar. I won't try to compete with him with the Lord of the rings: the ring of strength.".
The game of power is a fantasy literary adaptation that swept the world again after the release of the Lord of the rings. At the same time, its derivative, the dragon family, will also be broadcast in August. Naturally, it has also been compared with the Lord of the rings: the ring of strength. Patrick McKay said that this new play will not be compared with the game of power. He said: we want to be loyal to Tolkien's works rather than catch up with these "neighbors". "If you keep trying to keep up with your neighbors, you may lose confidence, but one of the mottos of this film is to put the original work first."
Later, he cited another series of examples of Harry Potter. He said: "Harry Potter is popular not only because it has a sense of novelty, friendship and humor, but also because it involves knowledge, politics, history, myth and depth. Therefore, we focus on in-depth discussion of our existence. We don't care what others will do.".
The first season of the drama "the Lord of the rings" has 8 episodes, costing more than $465million. It is the most expensive TV series in history and will be broadcast on September 2, 2022.
The plot of the play was set thousands of years before the stories of the Hobbit and the Lord of the rings: powerful forces forged into shape, the glorious rise of the kingdom fell into dust, unexpected heroes were tested, and Tolkien's most powerful villains wanted to darken all the world. From the darkest depths of the misty mountains, to the magnificent forests of Linton, the capital of elves, to the breathtaking numanor Empire, and the farthest places on the map, the heritage of these kingdoms and figures will last forever.
