While a tonne of information regarding the Lord of the Rings TV series has found its way online, Amazon has played coy about the series.
（先前）盡管大量有關《指環(huán)王》連續(xù)劇的信息已在網(wǎng)上曝光，但亞馬遜公司仍不愿透露這部劇的相關信息。

Various reports have revealed details about the series, including that the studio has five seasons in the pipeline .
各種報道已揭示了這部劇的部分細節(jié)，其中包括該電影公司計劃制作五季連續(xù)劇。

Now, Jennifer Salke, Amazon Studios’ new executive, has spoken about the series.
如今亞馬遜電影公司的新主管詹妮弗·薩爾克（終于）談及了這部連續(xù)劇。

Salke first confirmed that the series will not retell the main events of the Lord of the Rings novels, but also insisted that the stories will feature characters we recognise.
薩爾克首次證實，這部連續(xù)劇將不會重新講述《指環(huán)王》這部小說中的主要事件，但她也強調這部劇將講述我們認識的角色的故事。

Salke also hinted at when we can expect the series to finally reach Amazon, saying: “It’ll be in production in two years; [on the air in] 2021 is the hope. But there are other people who wish it was 2020.”
薩爾克還暗示了何時我們可以在亞馬遜平臺上看到這部劇，她說：“我們將用兩年的時間來制作這部??；我們希望它可以在2021年播出，但其他人希望在2020年播出?！?/div>

Amazon are currently hosting meetings with writers for the new series, although nothing has apparently been set in stone.
目前亞馬遜公司正在與這部新劇的編劇開會（討論相關事宜），盡管一切顯然都不可能一成不變。

Previous reports have claimed the first series will focus on a young Aragon, played by Viggo Mortensen in the films. The story will be derived from Tolkien’s appendices and notes rather than being a direct adaptation of the novel and will reportedly focus on a different character each season.
先前的報道稱，第一季將重點講述一個年輕的阿拉貢人的故事，在電影中該角色是由維戈·莫特森飾演的，而電視劇講述的這個故事則出自托爾金這部小說的番外篇。據(jù)報道，這部劇并非直接改編這部小說，而是將在每一季重點講述一個不同角色的故事。

Certain actors from Jackon’s trilogy may have ruled themselves out of appearing (Andy Serkis who played Gollum and Gimli star John Rhys Davis), however, one person who’d be up for returning is Gandalf himself, Sir Ian McKellen.
出演杰克遜執(zhí)導的《指環(huán)王》三部曲的某些演員（飾演咕嚕姆的安迪·瑟克斯以及飾演吉姆利的約翰·里斯·戴維斯）可能不會出演這部連續(xù)劇，不過伊恩·邁凱倫先生可能會考慮繼續(xù)飾演甘道夫這個角色。
