Payne: “We have the rights solely to ‘The Fellowship of the Ring,’ ‘The Two Towers,’ ‘The Return of the King,’ the appendices, and ‘The Hobbit’ and that is it. We do not have the rights to ‘The Silmarillion,’ ‘Unfinished Tales,’ ‘The History of Middle-Earth, or any of those other books.”
McKay: “There’s a version of everything we need for the Second Age in the books we have the rights to. As long as we’re painting within those lines and not egregiously contradicting something we don’t have the rights to, there’s a lot of leeway and room to dramatize and tell some of the best stories that [Tolkien] ever came up with.”

The loss of Tom Shippey is likely to hurt this production… and over a broken NDA… tsk… tsk… Amazon.
He summed up the rights situation best:

I happened to notice a movie was on that had among its cast the actress who'll be playing young Galadriel in this show, so I decided to watch the movie to see what she was like acting-wise. I actually thought one of the other actresses in the movie (who, unlike this actress, wasn't the female lead in the movie) made more of an impression. However, the actress who'll be playing young Galadriel did manage to give a convincing performance in her final scene of the movie...so that was something. It's weird that they've cast her as young Cate Blanchett when I personally think she more closely resembles a young Rebecca Ferguson (well...younger, since Rebecca Ferguson isn't that 'old'). After looking up Morfydd Clark's IMDB list of credits, it turns out she's been in quite a few things I've watched...yet I have little-to-no memory of her in the majority of them. Oh well...maybe she'll impress as young Galadriel. I guess I'll have to wait and see (assuming, of course, the show even gets released on DVD/Blu-ray here eventually, as I'm pretty sure they're not going to have it on free-to-air TV where I am).

If that's an Orc I would say the face is ok but what the heck is he wearing?

“We spent a lot of time talking about what it would mean to be an Orc in the Second Age, it felt appropriate that their look would be different, part of a wilder, more raw, Second Age, Middle-earth, closer to where the First Age ends. As we meet them, they're not yet organized into armies, they're a little more scattered and they've been scavenging. So it's just a different time in their total story.”

Wow! Christian Bale is unrecognizable as Gorr! An even bigger transformation than Colin Firth as Penguin!

If the meteor contains black goo or a killer clown, this show might get slightly more interesting.

Unless they are flashing back to well into the first age, wouldn't Second Age Galadriel look exactly the same as Third Age Galadriel?

Or a killer clown made of black goo? Now that would be freaky.

Someone who has read the books could best answer that.

Someone who has read the books could best answer that. I have read them, which is why I posed the question (it was basically rhetorical). Maybe they can make up some mumbo jumbo about how elves take 10,000 years to fully mature physically or something. (lol cute gif)
