☆ ‘The Lord of the Rings’ franchise introduces its first female protagonist to the big screen

For Wise, a self-confessed Tolkienist and lifelong fan of “The Lord of the Rings” movies, playing Héra is a “deeply meaningful moment.”“I love the films. It wasn’t until the launch of the Amazon Originals series “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power ” in 2022 that the franchise introduced female protagonists to TV screens, with characters like Galadriel and Bronwyn stepping into leading roles. “The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim" debuts in theaters on Friday. As an ancestor of Éowyn, Héra naturally invites comparisons to the character. “‘I am no man’ is Éowyn’s final big line, and I think Héra really embodies that spirit,” Wise said.

A teenage hunter filmed four people believed to be Thomas Phillips and his children on October 3. Instead, his grandson filmed them on his phone, providing the first proof of life of the missing Phillips children that their mother Cat has seen since they left. Police released video purportedly of Thomas Phillips shopping at a hardware store in August, 2023. “We’re talking very, very deep bush and rugged countryside.”Police suspect Thomas Phillips and a child of breaking a shop window in November 2023. This is the first apparent sighting of Thomas Phillips with his children since they vanished in December 2021.

☆ Between ‘Star Wars’ Trilogies, a Golden Age of Video Games
  + stars: | 2024-02-28 | by ( Calum Marsh | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Though it sometimes feels as if there is a new “Star Wars” installment every couple of months, there was a time when all that fans of George Lucas’s sci-fi universe had were three movies and a lot of imagination. The 16-year gap between the end of that trilogy, 1983’s “Return of the Jedi,” and the start of the divisive prequels, 1999’s “The Phantom Menace,” was a vast creative void — one that video games helped fill. Developers at LucasArts, the subsidiary of Lucasfilm known for its adventure titles Monkey Island and Maniac Mansion, saw themselves as the standard-bearers of the “Star Wars” franchise for many years, said Jon Knoles, a longtime LucasArts designer. Unlike most games based on movies, its “Star Wars” games were not bogged down by market pressure or rushed to match a film’s release. “We had all kinds of creative freedom,” said Knoles, who worked on more than a dozen “Star Wars” games in the 1990s and early 2000s, first as a background artist, then as a lead animator and finally as a writer and director.

☆ In ‘Ahsoka,’ a ‘Star Wars’ Fan Favorite Returns
  + stars: | 2023-08-19 | by ( Calum Marsh | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
But over the years, the universe of “Star Wars” has expanded far beyond the realm originally imagined by George Lucas. The title of the latest “Star Wars” series, “Ahsoka,” premiering Aug. 23 on Disney+, may be unfamiliar even for viewers who consider themselves relatively knowledgeable about the franchise. The title character, played by Rosario Dawson in the series, has never appeared in a live-action “Star Wars” movie. (She was heard briefly in “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker,” voiced by Ashley Eckstein.) A certain familiarity with the rest of the stuff that has happened in “Star Wars” outside of the three main film trilogies is, if not quite required, then certainly very helpful.

☆ New 'Lord of the Rings' films in the works at Warner Bros

LOS ANGELES, Feb 23 (Reuters) - The Warner Bros movie studio is developing new installments in the blockbuster "The Lord of the Rings" and "The Hobbit" franchises based on the J.R.R. Warner Bros, owned by Warner Bros Discovery , said it had reached a multi-year agreement to collaborate on new films with Middle-earth Enterprises, a unit of Embracer Group AB (EMBRACb.ST). "The Lord of the Rings" film trilogy, which began in 2001, won 17 Oscars. Three "Hobbit" films were released starting in 2012. Tolkien remains largely unexplored on film," Warner Bros. Pictures Group co-chairs Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy said in a statement.

The "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, released from 2001 to 2003, told a sprawling tale of good versus evil set in a fictional world called Middle Earth. "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King." New Line CinemaBased upon J. R. R. Tolkien's series of books, there hadn't (and still hasn't) been anything quite like director Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.

☆ Bob Iger needs to fix Disney's 'Star Wars' problem
  + stars: | 2022-11-22 | by ( Travis Clark | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
He said then that a movie-a-year strategy for "Star Wars" was "too much, too fast." But Disney might have slammed on the brakes a little too hard: The only "Star Wars" movie to be released since then has been "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker," in 2019. And now, there isn't a "Star Wars" film on the theatrical release calendar until 2025. It's unclear if Iger foresaw a six-year wait, at least, when he said back in 2018 that "Star Wars" movie output would slow. But Lucasfilm hasn't made any public commitment to any of them as the next stage of "Star Wars" on the big screen.
☆ 'The Rings of Power' isn't just a TV show for Amazon — it's another way for the company to dominate every aspect of your life
  + stars: | 2022-09-07 | by ( Travis Clark | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
"The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" is more than just a TV show for Amazon. That's because "The Rings of Power" — which Amazon spent nearly $500 million to produce and is a Jeff Bezos passion project — isn't just a TV show for the company. As part of the larger Amazon ecosystem, Prime Video isn't just a typical streaming service. "The Rings of Power" is the peak of this effort when it comes to Amazon's TV aspirations. And the "Lord of the Rings" and "Hobbit" movie trilogies are both available on Prime Video with a subscription.
