Auckland has been chosen as the anchor location for the most expensive TV series in history. Amazon Studios in collaboration with the Tolkien Estate, HarperCollins, and New Line Cinema, has announced it will invest over one billion dollars in making the series. To put this in perspective, the 73 episodes of Game of Thrones cost $560 million. Amazon Studios has already forked out $250 million just for the rights to make their Lord of the Rings project. The first season will have 20 episodes and all of them will take place in a time before the Peter Jackson “Lord of the Rings” timelines. This, therefore, is not a re-hash of Peter’s films rather the writers claim to haveexceptional ideas based on previously unexplored stories from J.R.R. Tolkien’s original writings. I guess the goal is to make a series that will be as phenomenally successful as “Game of Thrones” proved to be.
