He is writing the new Lord of the Rings movies and is clear about something he should not do: watch The Rings of Power.

Published:

With the premiere of The Rings of Power in 2022 on Prime Video, another creative team different from the one led by Peter Jackson entered JRR Tolkien’s Middle Earth for the first time this century (if we ignore their games). They did it in their own style, with their own successes and flaws that now, the writer of the original Lord of the Rings trilogy, wants to avoid observing in order to work as independently as possible on the new movies.

Goal: avoid “cross-contamination”

That’s why Philippa Boyens has not even wanted to watch a minute of the fantasy show on Prime Video. Not because she feels she will be disappointed with what she sees, but because she doesn’t want her future work to be influenced by it.

“I haven’t seen it. And it is a deliberate decision because I am not going to judge what others do with this world. But the real reason why I have wanted to stay away from it is to avoid being influenced by their ideas. I don’t want to give the impression that the series has influenced our story. I hope to see it one day. But first, I have to get my ass out of Middle Earth.” — SlashFilm

These are statements from Boyens to Empire, where she also confirmed a few days ago that she is currently working on two films, not one split into two parts, from The Lord of the Rings for Warner Bros. One is The Hunt of Gollum, which will be directed by Andy Serkis, and the other remains a mystery as of today.

Returning to today’s statements, Philippa Boyens seems to want to make it clear that this movie will be a very different thing, far removed from the work of Amazon, but never without underestimating the fantasy series because, among other things, she has not seen it. By the time she finishes her script work on the new fantasy saga films, the show may have already premiered its third season.
