Regarding fan worries about maintaining authenticity, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power Season 2 has climbed up to become one of the top five most-watched TV seasons on Amazon Prime Video, with only Fallout and Reacher Season 2 surpassing it. In this season, we see the reappearance of Sauron (Charlie Vickers), who was banished by Galadriel (Morfydd Clark) and is now compelled to deceive his way through Middle-earth in order to obtain the Rings of Power. The popularity of the second season’s success extends beyond US viewers, as it has also garnered international recognition.

Bill Skarsgård’s portrayal in “The Crow” didn’t win over fans and critics earlier this year, but his transformation into Count Orlok for Robert Eggers’ “Nosferatu” has left one of his co-stars, Nicholas Hoult, a bit apprehensive – in a positive sense. During an interview with IndieWire at the premiere of “The Order” this week at TIFF, Hoult expressed concern over Skarsgård’s metamorphosis into the title vampire, as by the end of it, there was barely anything left that resembled the Swedish actor.

In “The Return,” a soldier, Odysseus, makes his way home after years fighting in the Trojan War. He returns worn and weary, causing his friends to struggle with recognizing him. The process of readjusting to society is challenging for him, even his wife Penelope seems unfamiliar. This narrative may seem familiar, but it’s an adaptation of a part of Homer’s “The Odyssey,” set on the island of Ithaca and unfolding against the backdrop of the war at Troy. The film is debuting at the Toronto International Film Festival before its theatrical release later this year.
