Som du givetvis vet, håller Amazon på med en påkostad TV-seriebaserad på Lord of the Rings-universumet. Den ska inte bygga direkt på böckerna, utan utspelar sig snarare långt innan Frodo tog sitt muntra gäng på en siteseeing för att kolla in en spektakulär vulkan. Nu har TheOneRing.net fått seriens officiella synopsis och i denna får vi en försmak av vad vi kan vänta oss och vad vi kommer få se:
"Amazon Studios' forthcoming series brings to screens for the very first time the heroic legends of the fabled Second Age of Middle-earth's history. This epic drama is set thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien's pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness. Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone."
Det låter väl inte tokigt alls, eller vad säger ni?
Räkna inte med att återse särskilt många bekanta ansikten då serien utspelas mer än tusen år innan böckerna. Men alver kan å andra sidan bli väldigt gamla... så...
