Sauron’s dominion over Middle Earth is closing in and there are only a few who can stand to oppose his might. But as we all know… The One Ring will be forged, regardless of who gets in his way. To celebrate the epic return of The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, we had the absolute priviledge of talking to the Dark Lord himself Charlie Vickers, and a new arrival to Middle Earth… Jamie Campbell Bower who stars as Galadriel’s lost husband Celeborn.
It was a real delight being able to talk to both of them about their characters and about their experiences. We are so incredibly pleased with these interviews and are beyond excited to be able to share them on such a special day. The Rings of Power is back with an epic 4-episode premiere, so what are you waiting for?
Synopsis:
In Season Three, Middle-earth is at war. Five years have passed since the fall of Eregion. Sauron’s armies have marched across the whole of the world, conquering all in their path. Only a few isolated pockets stand between the Dark Lord and total victory – Khazad-dûm, where the Dwarves are now sealed deep within their mountain halls, and the elven realms of Lindon and Rivendell, which are protected by their Three Rings.
But deep in the land of Mordor, in his newly completed tower of Barad-dûr, the Dark Lord toils day and night, obsessed with harnessing a power that will bring the last of his enemies to their knees: One Ring to rule them all… Now, all the free peoples of Middle-earth – Dwarves, Elves, Men, and Wizards alike – must find a way to come together, in a race against time to prevent Sauron from achieving his goal of utter domination of all life…
