Everyone s talking about the new Amazon Prime series, The Rings of Power. While this series is a prequel to J.R.R. Tolkein s famous Lord of the Rings franchise, it seems that The Rings of Power is appealing to Lord of the Rings fans and middle earth newbies, alike. This series is said to be the highest budget television show in history, and when you see it, it s really no surprise.
It s clear that lots of money, thought, and effort went into making an imagined place feel real and fantasy species look as realistic as the rest of us. But, when it comes to transforming humans into orcs and dwarves, it s not all about the budget, supplies, and the masterminds behind the prosthetics and makeup.
The actors, themselves, have a lot to do with how well their physical transformations into their characters are achieved, and sometimes it is way, way more difficult than they make it look. While being cast in a Lord of the Rings series is a dream to some, getting into the makeup and costumes required to be a part of Tolkein s universe can be a bit more like a nightmare.
To ten pound pairs of shoes to facial hair puzzles to those crazy realistic elf ears that you surely have a few questions about, we have lots of inside scoop on what went into bringing these characters to life. And, if you re wondering why they didn t use CGI instead, the upside of sitting in the makeup chair for hours, or how the cast ended up with a wig named Gloria? Well, we ve got all those details, too.
Lord: It s hard to feel sorry for millionaire movie stars, but spare a thought for these poor souls who suffered for their art by submitting to some seriously painful prosthetics. Date: 2022-09-12
