Check out the new 'Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power' trailer

I didn't realize I felt starved for new Lord of the Rings content until now. Amazon Studios dropped a new trailer for its big-budget series, The Lord of the Rings: The Ring of Power. This series takes place during the Second Age of Middle-Earth, a thousand years before the events of Lord of the Rings. It takes inspiration from J.R.R. Tolkien's Silmarillion but features characters and a completely original plot.

It will chronicle the rise of Sauron and the forging of the rings. Galadriel (played by Morfydd Clark) tries to convince elvish people that evil is still lurking on Middle-Earth. And she takes it upon herself to do something about it when people don't listen to her. Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power will debut on September 2 on Prime Video.

Blade Runner will live on once more. But this time, it'll become a television series for Amazon Prime Video. The company reportedly tapped original Blade Runner director Ridley Scott to executive produce the series. It'll be entitled Blade Runner 2099 and take place 50 years after the events of Denis Villeneuve's 2017 film, Blade Runner 2049.

That film itself was set 30 years after Scott's original adaptation of Philip K Dick's novel, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? Blade Runner 2099 will be co-produced by Silka Luisa, who is currently showrunning Shining Girls for Starz. Luisa will also be the lead writer for the series. Rumour has it Amazon Studios is fast-tracking the development of the series and is looking to establish a writers room to join Luisa soon. It isn't guaranteed, but Scott could also return to direct the show. We're sure to hear more about this if Amazon pushes through with the project.
