"The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power" Official Trailer Debuts

Watch As The Title Treatment For Prime Video’s ‘Lord Of The Rings” Series Be Forged Before You

Watch as the title for Prime Video’s upcoming series “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power“ is forged from real molten metal running like fiery rivers in the title treatment, unveiled today. The television series’ complete title was unveiled today, and the significance behind the subtitle will not be lost on J.R.R. Tolkien fans, foreshadowing an epic story that welds the major events of Tolkien’s Second Age together: the forging of the iconic rings. Just as so many elements of the show itself were hand-crafted, Prime Video chose to physically forge the title in a blacksmith foundry, pouring fiery molten metal into hand-carved wooden ravines shaped to the letterforms. The process was captured in slow motion for a live-action video, which features voice-over narration of lines from Tolkien’s famous “Ring Verse,” describing the intended recipients of the 20 Rings of Power. The bespoke title treatment appears crafted in silvery metal, with lines of Elvish script inscribed along the

Game Review: 'Shadow Man: Remastered'

Game Review: ‘Shadow Man: Remastered’

Back in 1999, I had a Nintendo 64 console and that sucker got me through a lot of things by offering me hours of escapism from the hells of puberty and entering High School. One of the games I played the hell out of was Shadow Man, at the time it was a pretty badass game with memorable moments, and I played the hell out of it. Since then I’ve gone on to play many other games and developed memories and loves for other titles, with some of the N64 ones slowly fading away and just becoming pleasant memories. That was till Nightdive Studios came kicking down my Nistolgia door with a remastered version of Shadow Man, and I would be crazy to have said no and let this opportunity pass! For those not familiar with the game, Shadow Man is about Michael LeRoi who by day looks like a normal human man but at night he becomes Shadow Man,

The new prequel series to “Game of Thrones,” “House of the Dragon” has fans excited, but they aren’t the only ones excited about the series, George R.R. Martin, whose novels “GOT” is based on, is psyched. Martin, who has seen the rough cut, has teased that fans won’t be disappointed this time, and after the pathetic finale of “GOT,” that says a lot. On Martin’s blog, he reminds fans that even though there are several Marvel series, a “Lord of the Rings” series and Netflix’s adaptation of Neill Gaiman’s “Sandman,” “House of the Dragon” is at the top of IMDb’s most anticipated pole.
