Lord of the Rings: Hobbit Actor Says Series Is More Contemporary

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is probably one of the most ambitious series projects that Amazon ever started. The Middle-earth series is also one of the most expensive in the world and the new trailers shows an insight into the Fantasy world by author JRR Tolkien and what we can expect there. But is the series comparable to Peter Jackson’s cinematic adaptation? The Lord of the Rings star commented on this Dominic Monaghan recently.

JRR Tolkien’s work is thus adapted once more, this time in the streaming format. This of course raises the question of whether the Amazon production can keep up with Peter Jackson’s unique film landscape of Middle-earth. Former Lord of the Rings star Dominic Monaghan has a very clear opinion on this.

Dominic Monaghan played the role in Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings films Hobbit Merry and is still a fan of the fantasy world today. He gave an interview earlier this week ComicBookMovie.com and should actually talk about his new projects moonhaven and Moriarty: The Devil’s Game talk, but the editors took the opportunity to ask what he actually thought of the new series Amazon Prime Video holds.

“I think [die Umsetzung von Herr der Ringe in Serienform] Well! You know, that’s the direction it’s going in general when it comes to how content is delivered.”says the actor. “I think if we were shooting the Lord of the Rings movies today, which are getting close to three hours and twenty minutes in the extended editions, people would say, ‘We can’t do that. We don’t have that much bandwidth.'”

“I think people these days want content in smaller chunks. I feel the same way! It’s great to see how creatives are handling this world in a different way and I wish them the best of luck with that.”continues Monaghan. “I’ll definitely watch it and talk about it on my podcast with Billy Boyd.”
