Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power trailer shows Galadriel in defiance of Elrond
It is one of the most anticipated shows of 2022.
And Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power released an epic trailer which certainly reflected its whopping $1billion price tag.
The Amazon Prime Video series released its latest teaser on Thursday after the company had shelled out $250million just for TV rights to the franchise based off the novel written by J. R. R. Tolkien taking place in Middle-earth.

As the new visuals looked completely breathtaking, the clip was absolutely epic and it should be as the streaming service has a five-season production commitment said to be worth at least $1 billion and making it the most expensive series in TV history.
The peak of the two-and-a-half minute long trailer came when Galadriel (Morfydd Clark) got into a contentious back-and-forth with Elrond (Robert Aramayo).
Galadriel could be heard querying Elrond: ‘The enemy is still out there. The question is where?’

The ruler of Rivendell assures her to not be worried as the threat is gone as he replied: ‘It is over’
She isn’t too convinced by his assurance as she said: ‘You have not seen what I have seen,’ to which Elrond replies: ‘I have seen my share’

She isn’t too convinced by his assurance as she said: ‘You have not seen what I have seen,’ to which Elrond replies: ‘I have seen my share.’
Then Galadriel is very defiant as she strongly reiterates: ‘You have not seen… what I have seen.’
During that statement it cuts to a shot of her with ash all over her face in front of a red-hued sky.

The series takes place thousands of years before the events which transpired in The Hobbit and The Lord Of The Rings series of films.
It will begin during a time of relative peace as it will cover all the major events of Middle-earth’s Second Age including Rings of Power, the rise of the Dark Lord Sauron, the fall of the island kingdom of Númenor, and the last alliance between Elves and Men.
The events – which are based on author Tolkien’s history of Middle-earth – take place over thousands of years in the legendary writer’s original stories but will be condensed for the series.

The teaser released on Wednesday also gave a peak at many of Aragorn’s Númenorean ancestors with the most notable one being Isilidur (Maxim Baldry) who is the man who would eventually cut the One Ring off of Sauron’s finger.
There are also glimpses of character including: High King Gil-galad (Benjamin Walker), the Harfoots’ Marigold Brandyfoot (Sara Zwangobani), Elanor ‘Nori’ Brandyfoot (Markella Kavenagh), Poppy Proudfellow (Megan Richards) and Sadoc Burrows (Sir Lenny Henry), The Stranger (Daniel Weyman), the Dwarves King Durin III (Peter Mullan) and Prince Durin IV (Owain Arthur), Halbrand (Charlie Vickers), and Arondir (Ismael Cruz Córdova).
There was also Tar-Míriel who is the daughter of King Tar-Palantir and the last rightful heir of Númenor played by Cynthia Addai-Robinson.
Amazon are yet to confirm the vast budget for the series, but it’s thought to be an eye-watering $462 million, when factoring in the huge sum Amazon paid to get the rights from the Tolkien estate.

The eye-watering figure also includes building infrastructure that will be used in later seasons – and it’s been offset by a $108 million tax rebate.
Once the show has taken its global marketing campaign into consideration, it’s likely the final cost could top $1 billion.
The Lord Of The Rings original trilogy was released annually from 2001 to 2003, becoming the most acclaimed fantasy film series in history.
