Sadly, Jackson is not involved in The Rings of Power. He even won a couple of Oscars for doing so.

Though lots of filmmakers have adapted Tolkien's work over the years (shout out to the trippy, 1978 animated Ralph Bakshi Lord of the Rings), none have done so as completely as Peter Jackson, who directed six movies across two trilogies dedicated to the goings-on in Middle-earth. Tolkien Middle-earth refresher course.Īnd while you could read the entire Lord of the Rings book series, The Hobbit novel and all those appendices, on which The Rings of Power is based, it might be faster just to watch the movies. Wait, how many rings now? Wasn't it just the One Ring to Rule Them All? Time for a J.R.R. If you watched Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, you should know it takes place in the Second Age of Middle-earth, when the 19 rings were forged and given to elves, dwarves and humans.
