US-based technology giant Amazon announced that filming for “The Lord of the Rings” will begin in New Zealand. The TV series will be the most expensive production to date with a budget of at least one billion dollars.
As is known, the Lord of the Rings trilogy told the story of the Fellowship of the Ring in the Third Age. In the television series, the pre-brotherhood, that is to tell the Second Age. The trilogy of the film, based on the British literary J.R.R Tolkien’s epic fantasy novel, earned $ 3 billion in box office proceeds and won a total of 17 Oscars.
Tom Shippey, a scholar of LOTR author J.R.R. Tolkien, discussed the logistics of the programme in the clip – revealing that production hoped to pack everything they need in 20 episodes.
Keeping schtum on location rumours – with speculation rife that the series will be filmed in Scotland and New Zealand, Shippey explained: “The exact locations are of course uncertain and it could well be several. “The shooting itself does not take place chronologically, but is oriented towards the locations.
