Mar 22, 2022 · Amazon doesn’t actually have the rights to The Silmarillion. This means the series will be based on The Appendices at the end of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Which, admittedly, does overlap in stories between the two books, but if it is mentioned in The Silmarillion and not in the Appendices, it is off-limits.

Christopher Tolkien and the Tolkien Estate have closely guarded the rights to the Silmarillion. Since Christopher Tolkien stepped down from the Estate and later died, the Estate has been more open to negotiating, though the rights are not available, they are the gatekeepers and have been negotiating with Amazon on a case by case basis.

The first set photo, and the opening sequence of the first episode, focused on the Two Trees of Valinor, which are central to the story of The Silmarillion. But much of their significance is also seen in The Lord of the Rings. There it is established that The Two Trees once gave light to the world, and it was from the light of these trees that the ...
Speaking of Fëanor, the text also explains that Fëanor was likely the one who created the palantíri, which were the original enchanted seeing-stones that came through the Númenoreans into the later kingdom of Gondor. The palantíri made a few appearances in Peter Jackson’s films in some significant scenes, and have already proven to be important in ...
One of the central storylines so far has concerned a relationship between a mortal, Bronwyn (Nazanin Boniadi), and an elf, Arondir (Ismael Cruz Córdova). This sort of relationship was one of the central elements of The Lord of the Rings with Aragorn and Arwen, but the material the show can use also contains the stories of two other such pairings: t...
While the epic moments of the First and Second Age are only fully fleshed out in The Silmarillion, most of the major events of those times are also established elsewhere. The drama of the First Age around the death of the Trees and the theft of the Silmarils is fair game, and most of the story of the Silmarils is sketched out as well. As the show h...
While Finrod, Galadriel’s brother, has already come and gone in the series, there are a few significant things we know about him from the text: he was king of the elven kingdom of Nargothrond, and he gave the gift of a ring to Barahir, the father of Beren. It is this ring that Aragorn wears in The Lord of the Rings, and it was kept safe for some ti...
A decent amount of available material also sketches out the drama of Númenor: as a reward for fighting against Morgoth, those who did so were granted a new homeland separate from Middle-earth. They were guided to their new homeland by the star of Eärendil, and Elrond’s (Robert Aramayo) brother, Elros, became the first king of Númenor. They were als...
Gil-galad (Benjamin Walker) has also proven to be a key character in the series, particularly in Episode 5. There is a lengthy poem about him recited in The Lord of the Rings, and consequently, there is a good amount of usable information there. Gil-galad was the last of the kings of the Noldor and ruled over most of the High Elves in Middle-earth ...
The text states that the relationship between King Durin III and the Eregion Elven-smiths was the closest there ever was between the two peoples, and that Celebrimbor (Charles Edwards) was the greatest craftsman among the Elven-smiths. As Celebrimbor canonically made the symbols on the Doors of Durin out of a mithril alloy, it is almost certain to ...
The story notes that Sauron built his great strongholdof Barad-dûr in Mordor as a response to the growing power of the Númenoreans (which seems to be on the horizon) and that he made a great effort to seduce the elves of Middle-earth to his cause. Despite the fact that Sauron turned the dial up to eleven on his seduct-o-meter, however, Gil-galad re...
One of the most fascinating possibilities that is wide open for the series to explore is one of the strangest characters and storylines from The Lord of the Ringsthat never actually made it to the screen, even in Jackson's trilogy: Tom Bombadil. Bombadil is a character who shows up randomly in the plot of the book, singing a strange and silly song ...
