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.

Christopher Tolkien recently passed away. My guess is that something like this only became possible after he was no longer present to stop it.

Had to look that one up. Never watched it. Doubt it would appeal to me, at least from the description.

I don’t know how many times I’ve read LOTR in my life, but it’s at least five or six. I don’t recall ANY sex scenes in those books.

Yes, nobody tried to make a Bored of the Rings parody movie, not even Mel Brooks . . .

I figure throwing in the X rated stuff is probably about the only way to sell “Bored Of The Rings”.

One in the Silmarillion. Not depicted, but alluded to -- unintentional incest from the marriage between Túrin Turambar and his sister Niënor, who was amnesiac due to dragon enchantment. Neither knew who the other was at the time. When the dragon restored her memory, she committed suicide from the knowledge; Túrin died soon after.
"and it is called the Tale of Grief, for it is sorrowful, and in it are revealed most evil works of Morgoth Bauglir."
