Prime Video confirms the show is currently in pre-production and will begin filming this spring at the series’ new Shepperton Studios digs.
As a member of the trade association, the studio will have the opportunity to engage in shaping policy discussions, network with industry leaders, and access resources and training.
VFX supervisor Jason Smith and his bevy of VFX studios, including ILM, DNEG, and Rodeo FX, delivered roughly 8,000 visual effects shots including Ents, a Balrog, Barrow-wights, Shelob, and the Elven forge, on the sophomore outing of Prime Video’s return to J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle-earth.
Debuting during San Diego Comic-Con’s cast and showrunner panel, the reveal showcases never-before-seen footage of the legendary Rings, magical creatures, glimpses of battles to come, and the Dark Lord Sauron’s growing evil influence; new season debuts August 29.
