Lord of the Rings Rumor Indicates Amazon Series Could Include Sex Scenes

Amazon may be adding some unexpected nudity to Middle-earth in its upcoming Lord of the Rings television series. The massive project resumed filming in New Zealand in September after a pandemic-induced halt. Now a casting call has gone out for various actors, including those "comfortable with nudity." The casting call from the BGT talent agency caught the eye of Lord of the Rings fansite TheOneRing.net. It reads, "Comfortable with Nudity? Up to $500 per day. Use reference NUDE. We need Nude people based in Auckland - age 18 plus, all shapes and sizes (Intimacy guidelines will always be followed on set)." The production also has an intimacy coordinator on its team, suggesting the series could include sex scenes.
This listing has some fans worrying that the Amazon show may be taking inspiration from HBO's hit fantasy series Game of Thrones, which never shied away from sexual content. That fit in with George R.R. Martin's lurid, dark, low fantasy world. It'd be less at home in the chaste, high-fantasy of J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle-earth. Fans likely won't know for sure until the series finally debuts.

The Left corrupts everything. Tolkien is rolling in his grave. You don’t need sex scenes to tell an adult story.

Can't they get George RR Martin to generate some more tripe and adapt that for TV instead?
Well, given how slowly he writes, I guess they can't.

Watch out for that Lorena Hobbit character. :)

Don’t even know why this is news. Every series I start watching on Amazon or any of the other channels features, in the very first episode, an explicit sex scene and/or extremely foul language. Lost count of how any first episodes I’ve turned off after just a few minutes.
No one makes anything decent anymore.

There aren’t any sex scenes in any of Tolkien’s material - not even insinuated ones - so this is definitely going to far into the “creative liberty” realm. I am shocked that the Tolkien estate agreed to this as they own the licensing rights to the material and have historically been good stewards of it.

Every series I start watching on Amazon [...] features, in the very first episode, an explicit sex scene and/or extremely foul language. "Grand Tour"?
