The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Full Movie Watch Online Putlockers (Season 1)
If there’s any word that could be used to accurately describe the world of The Lord of the Rings, it’s vast. The fictional setting first envisioned by J.R.R. Tolkien, which began all the way back in 1937 with the publication of The Hobbit, has seen many of its most legendary locations rendered on-screen in countless adaptations, from animation to most recently live-action.
So when Amazon bought the television rights to LOTR back in 2017, it was clear this version would have to carve out a new niche for itself — starting with lands in the realm known as Middle-earth that has never been translated from page to screen before,
and we were given an exclusive sneak peek into how The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power created the storied Sundering Seas for the upcoming Prime Video series, as well the dynamic between the two characters who are forced to work together in fighting for their very lives.
With The Rings of Power set to premiere this fall, production on the first season was long and intensive — over a year of filming in New Zealand starting back in February 2020, although the COVID-19 pandemic contributed to throwing a wrench of several months lost within that overall timeframe.
The standalone story, developed by J. D. Payne and Patrick McKay and helmed by directors J.A. Bayona, Wayne Che Yip, and Charlotte Brändström, is set thousands of years before the events of The Hobbit (and subsequently, the Lord of the Rings trilogy) but still features many names that may already be known to longtime and newer fans alike: Galadriel. Elrond. Isildur. Celebrimbor.
(Given that elves are sort of known for their longevity in Tolkien’s world, some of those aren’t probably all that surprising — but it will be intriguing to see younger versions of characters who are practical of legend by the time we even so much as hear of them in The Fellowship of the Ring.)
However, in addition to the rest of the sprawling ensemble cast, with the identities of many still partly shrouded in mystery, there have already been several new locations teased, ones that have never before made their way into a Tolkien adaptation. The Dwarven city of Khazad-dûm, also known as Moria, which is discovered as an eerie tomb by the time the Fellowship ventures on their quest to destroy the One Ring, will be displayed in the utmost glory and splendor of its founding on The Rings of Power.
Given that the show is set in the Second Age, it’ll also serve as the center of things for where the titular Rings of Power are first forged and doled out amidst Elves, humans, dwarves (and secretly, the Dark Lord Sauron). Fears that evil could be rearing its terrible head in Middle-earth are predominantly held by a more youthful — and more brazen — Galadriel (Morfydd Clark),
and the Elven warrior sets out to fight on behalf of a future that may not come to pass if no one chooses to do so. Her journey takes her through many stunning places, one of them being the mythic Sundering Seas of Arda (also known as Belegaer), located between Middle-earth and Númenor, where she begrudgingly relies on a human named Halbrand (Charlie Vickers) after the two are stranded together in the height of a massive storm.
