New cinematographer news: Gavin Struthers is a new director of photography on Rings Of Power SIII. He has worked on The Witcher Season 1, Black Sails, and Superman & Lois. He joins series lead cinematographer Alex Disenhof, and fellow newcomer Gavin Finney, reported on in June.
#TROPspoilers As Sauron hands out the Nine Rings to men in SIII, we will see as Tolkien said "The Nazgûl or Ringwraiths, slaves of the Nine Rings, first appear." Including, it seems, one who no man can kill... Here is a little teaser for that appearance.
I (Drew) am very excited to announce someone joining Rings Of Power Era - Khalil. He is a big fan of the series, and over the past months has done some really impressive work researching it and looking for info on the next season. Excited for the months to come
Sauron’s appearance for Season III! Khalil's reporting on Sauron appearing armoured and dark haired is accurate- here is something to give you an idea of how Sauron will look next season, now that he has truly become the Dark Lord. The Road to Season III has begun!
EXCL: New cinematographer for Rings Of Power S3 - Gavin Finney (Good Omens, Wolf Hall).
In a new interview with GoldDerby, director Charlotte Brändström confirmed that Season 3 is already in the middle of filming, saying that she had been up since 5 in the morning "shooting all day." www.goldderby.com/feature/char...

McKay: "For Sauron as a character at the beginning of season 2, he still thinks he's the hero, right? [...] But then to succeed, he has to double down and basically descend into the worst version of himself, where, by the end, he's the villain of this story, and he knows it." (Source: Total Film)
"Thereafter he strove ever for the dominion of Middle-earth, to become a king over all kings and as a god unto Men."
Rings Of Power Era@ringsofpowerera.bsky.social · 2y ago"If you look at his power on a chart, he's getting closer and closer to being at his peak power. I think we could get a form, or a version, of Sauron where he is Sauron the Terrible, like he is at his most mighty externally, at least." -Charlie Vickers #TheRingsOfPower
According to showrunners J.D. Payne and Patrick McKay, Adar originally died at the end of Season 1, but this was "very early on in the process" and may not have "ever made it into the draft", only existing as an idea on notecards. Source: Total Film

"I love that you [Charlie] have included that Sauron used to be a giant house cat...he doesn't like to be touched. So cat like." - Morfydd Clark (New Q&A)
"We had this moment where they're getting physically close, where they're almost pinning each other, where they're choosing to not inflict pain or to inflict pain, because I feel like Sauron could have inflicted more pain." -Morfydd Clark (New Q&A) #TheRingsOfPower
According to the new Q&A, Charlie Vickers wouldn't let Morfydd Clark see him in his Annatar look until the day they filmed their reunion scene together. #TheRingsOfPower
In a new Q&A, showrunner J.D. Payne said that for "12 of the 13 hours" on his plane ride over, he was working on writing Season 3. Patrick McKay: "We're really excited. We have a story. We think it's really strong...and we're working on it." #TheRingsOfPower

"We're writing Season 3...and there's a lot happening in Númenor..." -Patrick McKay via Rings and Realms
JD Payne: "[Elrond's] half way on his way to "men are weak", cynical jaded Elrond of the movies..." Patrick McKay: "We're going to break him." Via Rings and Realms new interview
Patrick McKay on with Rings and Realms: "When he walks in in E6 in that outfit, to me...the story is he doesn’t care anymore. He’s like I’ve got this all under my thumb, and who he really is is starting to come out. He doesn’t care to hide it as much. He doesn’t have to."
"When Sauron learned of the repentance and revolt of Celebrimbor his disguise fell and his wrath was revealed," "demanding that all the rings should be delivered to him, since the Elven-smiths could not have attained to their making without his lore and counsel." -UT/Silmarillion
"Warm and eager was [Gandalf's] spirit, for he was the enemy of Sauron, opposing the fire that devours and wastes with the fire that kindles." -Unfinished Tales
"Only the victory of the West will allow Bombadil to continue, or even to survive. Nothing would be left for him in the world of Sauron." -Tolkien Letter 144 "I think that in the end, if all else is conquered, Bombadil will fall, Last as he was First; and then Night will come." -Glorfindel in FOTR
