Some news from Middle-earth this morning- Ciarán Hinds has reportedly joined the cast of “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power!” No stranger to genre television, Hinds starred as Gaius Julius Caesar in “Rome,” King-Beyond-The-Wall Mance Rader in “Game of Thrones,” as well as more recently in Kenneth Branagh‘s Oscar-nominated film, “Belfast.”
He’ll be joined in season 2 by Rory Kinnear (Skyfall, Spectre) and Tanya Moodie (Sherlock, Motherland), as well as additional new cast members Oliver Alvin-Wilson, Stuart Bowman, Gavi Singh Chera, William Chubb, Kevin Eldon, Will Keen, Selina Lo, Calam Lynch, Gabriel Akuwudike, Yasen ‘Zates’ Atour, Ben Daniels, Amelia Kenworthy, Nia Towle, and Nicholas Woodeson.
We’ll let you know what else we hear about this and other news.
Mary Anne Butler
Mary Anne Butler (Mab) has been part of the fast-paced world of journalism since she was 15, getting her start in album reviews and live concert coverage for a nationally published (print) music magazine. She eventually transitioned to online media, writing for such sites as UGO/IGN, ComicsOnline, Geek Magazine, Ace of Geeks, Aggressive Comix (where she is still Editor-in-Chief), Bleeding Cool (where she was News Editor), and now Nerdbot as Editor-In-Chief.
Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence.
Though she be but little, she is fierce.
