Lord of the Rings Rumor Indicates Amazon Series Could Include Sex Scenes
CB ^ | October 6, 2020 | Jamie Lovett

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.

If your gonna get GOOD midget porn you’ll pay for it. It ain’t cheap. The way I know it was really good is when at the end I wish I was a midget. It always brings a tear to my eye. :)

The reason it took so long for any movies to come out based on Tolkien’s world is that his estate carefully shepherded his image and his work. Apparently that respect has been cast aside. So you can expect to see a Lord of the Pessiary Rings trilogy at your nearest porn theater.

They lost the Entwives, remember. Not good implications for that one . . . how does an Ent pollinate?

“The National Lampoon book”

Mostly my own yawning take - the fairytale-fantasy genre as a whole bores me to tears.

Notice please, Tolkien was a devout Christian who wrote the story for his grand children. Nowhere in his story is there a hint of mudity, sexuality, or other Hollywood perversion. This will be a sacrilege.

Nothing like taking the writings of a Christian author and turning it into pornography.

I’ve read most of what Tolkien has written and I don’t remember any sex scenes.

Reading The Lord of the Rings was one of the formative events in my life and closely coincided with me becoming a Christian.

Pointy ears gives you something to gently nibble. And the red hair too.
