Det vides naturligvis ikke om den kommende tv-serie Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, vil være Peter Jacksons originale trilogi værdig, men nogle udvalgte cast-medlemmer har åbenbart fået lov til at se nogle afsnit allerede.
Én af disse er Sean Austin, skuespilleren bag Samwise Gamgee i filmene, og i et interview med Sam Maggs ved Calgary Expo sagde han, at det han har set har givet ham "kuldegysninger":
"I for one am excited. I saw the preview for it, and it gave me chills. It looked like they got it. I've been saying the whole time, they're gonna do it right. There's no way Amazon is gonna pay almost a billion dollars for a franchise just to screw it up."
Det vides ikke hvor meget han har set, men han blev ved med at kommentere på det "preview" han har fået af Amazon, og slog fast at det kan være at det vil skabe fornyet interesse omkring filmene:
"It will bring new awareness to what we did, so it's all good. And if in the unlikely event it's not good, okay. I still credit people with being determined and trying and expressing themselves. And I feel that way about all remakes. You have classics that you think 'please don't touch that,' but the truth is, nothing can ever take it away."
