The Rings of Power is not an adaptation of any specific Tolkien work, but drawn from elements in the Unfinished Tales volumes published by Christopher Tolkien after his father’s death.
A reporter referred to the series, which debuts on September 2, as only “vaguely connected” to the work of author J.R.R. Tolkien, unlike’s celebrated film trilogy which was, as the trade outlet puts it, “based on actual printed materials.”
McKay was quick to make an interjection. “We don’t feel that way. We feel like deep roots of this show are in the books and in Tolkien,” he said. “If we didn’t feel that way, we’d all be terrified to sit up here,” he continued. “We feel that this story isn’t ours. It’s a story we’re stewarding that was here before us and was waiting in those books to be on Earth. We don’t feel ‘vaguely connected.’ We feel deeply, deeply connected to those folks and work every day to even be closer connected.”is not an adaptation of any specific Tolkien work, but drawn from elements in thevolumes published by Christopher Tolkien after his father’s death.
In addition to defending the new show’s “connected” bonafides, McKay also commented on the fact that HBO is launching another big budget high fantasy prequel series,“It comes up and and we totally understand where where the question [of a perceived rivalry] comes from,” he said. “We don’t think of the show in terms of what genre or other shows that might be out there. We think about [Tolkien], his life’s work was creating this world.
