Young British actor Will Poulter (the Maze Runner franchise) is poised to star on Amazon Studios’ high-profile The Lord of the Rings TV series, Deadline has learned. Amazon would not comment.
The series hails from writers Jd Payne and Patrick McKay and director Juan Antonio (J.A.) Bayona. Set in Middle-earth, it will explore new storylines preceding J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Fellowship of the Ring.
Amazon cast a wide net in its talent search for the big-budget project, reading actors around the world with casting directors in the Us, UK and Australia. Deadline reported in July that young Australian actress Markella Kavenagh had been cast.
No details about the characters are being revealed but it is believed that Poulter and Kavenagh play the two leads, referred to as Beldor and Tyra, respectively.
