Just in case you’re stuck in a hole, one dirty, damp, disgusting, with traces of worms and the smell of slimeeither a dry, bare, sandy hole with nothing to sit on or eatso the exact opposite of the hobbit hole, I remind you It premieres on Amazon Prime Video on September 2nd The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Powera prequel to the trilogy that Tolkien wrote and which Peter Jackson masterfully brought to the screen two decades ago.
Turn out good or bad and there’s reason to hope for one or the other, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is called to go down in history, at least for the money that has been spent, which is still not entirely clear: there is talk of a total budget of about 465 million dollars for production alone, not including 250 rights, but also the cost of a chapter between 50 and 60 million dollars.
Be that as it may, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power It’s a bet like never before in the audiovisual field, far more expensive than any series or film made to date, and only comparable to what was spent to make the trilogy The Hobbit. So it’s only natural that Amazon is promoting it like there’s no tomorrow, and part of that promotion is the original trilogy of feature films, which are now coming to Prime Video like they haven’t on any other platform.
We are talking about the remastered version The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Y The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the Kingeither improved version of the trilogy which Peter Jackson himself took care of a few years ago on the occasion of the twentieth anniversary of the premiere. A renewal that, it must be said, did not please everyone, but in the words of the person involved, it was necessary to iron out the inconsistencies between this and the new trilogy The Hobbit.
Be careful as this remastering will not recreate the controversial 48 frames per second The Hobbit, but above all the color processing. Above all, Jackson finds these inconsistencies there, the result of two working methods separated by many years, as different as the photomechanical process of the first films or the digital one of the new ones. That what is new is not always better or that technology does not always help to improve is a fact, but it is true.
Ergo, Amazon is preheating the premiere The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power with the release of an enhanced version on Prime Video Lord of the Ringswhich not only adjusts the color but also adds 4K and HDR support. It is interesting that the trilogy of The Hobbit until recently available on the platform, he disappeared from it and from the rest, as if anticipating the demand of the people. It remains to be seen whether or not Amazon will make further efforts.
He passed news in delivering ours VOD news today, but here’s an extended version of it for those who missed it. And speaking of the extended version, they could have really worked on it and given an improved version of the extended version Lord of the Rings, and not the normal one. It’s a shame it wasn’t.
We’re leaving Westeros from Middle-earth, and there’s also news for another of the most successful epic fantasy productions of recent years: if Prime Video releases an enhanced version Lord of the Rings to whet your appetite for the premiere The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, HBO Max will do the same Game of Thrones with the same purpose, but a little more at the wrong time than many would like.
HBO Max will premiere on August 22 House of the Dragon, ultimately also a prequel to the work we all know. Another remake of the manga to continue the profitability of the fantasy universe, with the motivation in this case to keep the author of the novels alive and as an advisor to the creators of the series. Like The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Powerits first season will consist of 10 episodes and although its budget is better than the budget Game of Thronesabout $20 million per chapter is far from its competitor.
Because let’s not be fooled: that HBO Max chose this date to launch the long-awaited series is only because of the intention to directly compete with Prime Video. It will be interesting not only to see which one did better, but which one will take the cat to the water in terms of audience and media impact. For those interested in seeing both, on the other hand, everything is great.
Well, HBO Max will start on the same day as the premiere House of the Dragon improved version Game of Thrones in 4K, HDR 10D, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, outstanding debt with platform users, mostly production. That they could do it earlier and not on the same day as the launch of the new line? The truth is, yes, but it’s true, it’s worth repeating.
On top of all this, there is a bit of a confusing topic of dates, because when does it really open House of the Dragon In the United States it is August 21, which is already night in Spain, and there was no talk of a simultaneous premiere as on other occasions. If they keep the line of their other great series, it should be available at dawn, at least with subtitles; 22 and the following Monday already folded.
It will be a litmus test for HBO Max, which has always lagged behind Netflix in this regard… although this time it’s not competing with Netflix, but Prime Video, which also suffers from being a bit lazy in its releases. his production well.folded. However, it doesn’t seem like it will be one of those times given the situation they will be in. And it won’t be the only litmus test that both platforms face with these two versions.

The litmus test will be the quality in which we can see both The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power What House of the Dragonbut also Lord of the Rings Y Game of Thronesbecause a lot of 4K, a lot of HDR and Dolby Atmos, but when it comes to the truth, the cuts they make in the quality of the transmission lead to an experience that usually leaves a lot to be desired, and neither Prime Video nor HBO Max exemplify anything We’ll see… and never better said.
