Having a gritty, realistic, believable world. So the fact that we have this grounded and gritty and believable world and these relatable characters, but we have this world that's built on all these layers of myth and mystery, is kind of the best of both worlds.
“ Mike: In The Lord of the Rings, all of these myths appear, and I think if you go into something that's mythic, it's going to inevitably become more fantastical. So you have to try really hard to be true to that. It's the characters, stakes, villains, world. So I think it's really important to pull from the things that people love about these stories. What’s more enjoyable? Creating new stories in the universe or using what’s already there?I think it's a combination of both. Compressing those events and fitting them for the same timeline, we sort of fit it within that. They had the Nazgul reawaken with Sauron in the Hobbit versus just having them back in Mordor at the same time. And again the movies made the same kind of compromises to some extent. Really make our story fit in a way that connects to everything else. So we can try and draw connective tissue and fill things in. “So we've taken that slight inconsistency that's in the original and said the reason for that is because Celebrimbor, who we know worked with Sauron on the forging of the Rings, was also forced to work on the forging of the One Ring, and his perfection of that ring is what gave it a life or a mind of its own, separate from Sauron that allows it to go under Sauron's nose in this case.
