Before The Rings of Power even came out in 2022, I read an interview with Morfydd Clark (Galadriel) and Charlie Vickers (Sauron) on Collider. They talked about how much they both loved Peter Jackson’s original Lord of the Rings trilogy, and shared some of their favorite moments. Charlie mentioned a specific scene from The Fellowship of the Ring that he said actually gave the writers a great idea for a storyline they’re planning for season three of The Rings of Power! It’s cool to know they’re still drawing inspiration from the source material.

The 1990s brought a significant shift to Western films, changing how Hollywood depicted the American frontier.

Looking at Christopher Nolan’s career, it’s clear that The Dark Knight was the turning point for wider public recognition – that film’s box office numbers really put him on the map.

Now, with his twelfth film, Oppenheimer, he’s once again delivered a major blockbuster, proving his continued success in 2023.
